About These Birds
Blackish Cinclodes
The Blackish Cinclodes is a near-threatened, robust, dark brown cinclodes with blackish-gray upperparts and a pale supercilium, found along rocky and kelp-strewn shorelines. It inhabits the Falkland Islands and the coasts of Tierra del Fuego and the Diego Ramírez Islands, foraging along the shoreline at the water's edge. It feeds on marine invertebrates, insects, and small crustaceans exposed by waves on rocky shores.
Amazonian Plain Xenops
The Amazonian Plain Xenops is a small furnariid weighing about 11 g with a 12.5 cm wingspan, clinging to branches and probing bark for insects in Amazonian forest. Its distinctive upturned bill tip helps it lever off bark to expose hidden prey.
