About These Birds
Blackish Pewee
The Blackish Pewee is a small, uniformly dark slaty-blackish flycatcher with slightly paler underparts and a narrow eye ring. It inhabits forest edges, clearings, and open woodland in Amazonian foothill and montane forest from Ecuador and Peru south to Bolivia. It hunts flying insects from exposed perches, making sallying flights in the manner typical of pewees.
Acre Tody-tyrant
The Acre Tody-tyrant is a near-threatened flycatcher weighing just 9g from Amazonian forests of Brazil and Bolivia. It is secretive and rarely observed in its dense forest undergrowth habitat.
