About These Birds
Bay-vented Cotinga
The Bay-vented Cotinga is a near-threatened, little-known cotinga restricted to humid elfin forests on ridges in Ecuador and northern Peru. It is a plump bird with dark plumage and a distinctive rufous-chestnut vent. It feeds on fruit in the high-altitude forest canopy, and its rarity and restricted range make it vulnerable to habitat disturbance.
Black-and-gold Cotinga
The Black-and-gold Cotinga is a rare cotinga of the cloud forests of the Colombian and Ecuadorian Andes. Males are strikingly patterned in glossy black and gold. Like other cotingids, it feeds on fruit in the forest canopy and males display at traditional leks.
