About These Birds
Apolinar's Wren
Apolinar's Wren is an endangered marsh wren endemic to Colombia's Eastern Andes, weighing about 18 grams with a wingspan near 11 cm. It inhabits reed beds and wetland vegetation in high-altitude bogotá savanna wetlands. Severe habitat loss from wetland drainage has pushed this secretive wren toward endangerment.
Black-bellied Wren
The Black-bellied Wren is a secretive, boldly patterned wren of Central American and northwestern South American lowland forests, with its underparts strongly barred black and white. It inhabits the dense undergrowth of humid tropical forests and forest edges from Honduras south to Colombia and Venezuela. It feeds on insects and other invertebrates, skulking in thickets and rarely exposing itself in the open.
