About These Birds
Austral Blackbird
The Austral Blackbird is a medium-sized icterid found in woodland, forest edges, and gardens in Chile and adjacent Argentina. Weighing about 91.1g with a wingspan of 24.9cm, it has entirely glossy black plumage with a yellow eye. It is an omnivore feeding on insects, berries, and carrion, and is a common garden bird in southern South America.
Baudo Oropendola
The Baudo Oropendola is a large, colonial oropendola restricted to the humid lowland forests of the Chocó region in northwestern Colombia. Males are chestnut-brown with a yellow tail and build long, pendulous woven nests in colonies. Its vulnerable status reflects the rapid destruction of Chocó rainforest, one of the world's most biodiverse and threatened regions.
