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.

Weighing about 18.2g with a wingspan of 12.8cm, it has boldly barred flanks and white-streaked upperparts. It forages actively near the ground for insects in tangled undergrowth.
