About These Birds
Black Antbird
The Black Antbird is a medium-sized antbird of dense lowland forest undergrowth in the western and central Amazon basin, from Colombia to Bolivia and Brazil. Males are entirely glossy black, while females are dark brown with pale spotting. It forages in pairs or alone in dense thickets near the forest floor for insects.
Bicolored Antvireo
The Bicolored Antvireo is a near-threatened small antbird restricted to foothill and lower montane forests of northwestern Ecuador and the southwest slope of Colombia. Males are grey and white and females are brown with buffy streaking. It forages in pairs in the forest midstory for insects gleaned from leaves and branches.
