About These Birds
Black-eared Seedeater
The Black-eared Seedeater is a small, streaky finch with a distinctive black ear patch contrasting against its pale buff-white face and underparts. It is found in miombo woodland and adjacent open scrublands of central and southern Africa, ranging from the Democratic Republic of Congo to Zimbabwe. It feeds predominantly on grass seeds, often foraging in small flocks on or near the ground.
