About These Birds
Black-faced Cotinga
The Black-faced Cotinga is an elusive, medium-sized cotinga with dark purplish-black plumage and a striking pale face. It is found in humid lowland forests of western Amazonia, primarily in Peru and adjacent Brazil, where it inhabits the forest interior and edges. Little is known of its behavior, but it likely feeds on fruits and berries like other cotingas.
Apolo Cotinga
The Apolo Cotinga is an endangered passerine from Bolivia's Apolo region, weighing about 46 grams with a wingspan near 19 cm. It inhabits humid montane forests in a very restricted area of the Bolivian Andes. This rare cotinga remains poorly known due to its remote habitat and small population size.
