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.
Barred Fruiteater
The Barred Fruiteater is a colorful cotinga of the family Cotingidae found in humid montane cloud forests along the Andes from Venezuela to Bolivia. Weighing about 120g with a wingspan of 24.7cm, the male has striking green plumage with black barring on the underparts. It feeds primarily on fruit and berries in the forest canopy.
