About These Birds

Black-banded Woodcreeper

The Black-banded Woodcreeper is a robust, brown-streaked bird of the Americas with bold blackish-and-buff barring across its breast and a strong decurved bill for prying insects from bark. It ranges from Mexico south through Central America and across much of South America in humid forests and forest edges. It forages by hitching up tree trunks and branches, probing for beetles, ants, and other invertebrates.

Alagoas Foliage-gleaner

The Alagoas Foliage-gleaner was a medium-sized furnariid bird weighing about 36 g, endemic to the Atlantic Forest of Alagoas, Brazil. It is now classified as extinct, having last been recorded in the 1980s before its forest habitat was almost entirely destroyed by agriculture.
