About These Birds
Black-masked Finch
The Black-masked Finch is a vulnerable, small grassland finch with a gray body, black facial mask, chestnut wings, and a white supercilium. It inhabits native cerrado grasslands and campo sujo scrub of Brazil and adjacent Bolivia and Paraguay, requiring native grass cover that is rapidly being lost to agriculture. It feeds on grass seeds found in sparse, open grassland, foraging close to the ground.
Azure-rumped Tanager
The Azure-rumped Tanager is a Vulnerable tanager found in humid forests of Guatemala and southern Mexico, weighing about 14g with a wingspan of 17.5cm. It has pale blue-and-white plumage with an azure rump and is restricted to a small and fragmented range. Habitat loss in its cloud forest home poses a significant threat to this species.
