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-chested Fruiteater
The Black-chested Fruiteater is a strikingly colored cotinga of Andean cloud forests in Ecuador and northern Peru, with males displaying a vivid yellow-and-green body and a broad black breast band. It inhabits the mid-story and canopy of humid montane forests at elevations between 1,500 and 2,800 meters. It feeds primarily on small fruits and berries.
