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.
Band-tailed Fruiteater
The Band-tailed Fruiteater is a medium-sized cotinga of the family Cotingidae found in montane forests on the eastern slopes of the Andes. Weighing about 50g with a wingspan of 18.9cm, males have a striking banded tail pattern and green-and-orange plumage. It feeds primarily on small fruits and berries in the cloud forest canopy.
