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.
Bearded Bellbird
The Bearded Bellbird is a robust cotinga found in forests from Trinidad and Venezuela south to northeastern Brazil. Males are mostly white with a brown head and extraordinary wattle-like black feathers hanging from the throat, and produce an extraordinarily loud, hammer-like call audible over long distances. Females are olive-green and streaked, feeding primarily on fruit in forest canopy.
