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.
Alagoas Antwren
The Alagoas Antwren is a critically endangered antbird of northeastern Brazil, weighing about 10 g with a wingspan near 10 cm. It is restricted to very small forest fragments in Alagoas state and faces severe extinction pressure from ongoing deforestation and habitat fragmentation.
