About These Birds
Bicolored Antvireo
The Bicolored Antvireo is a near-threatened small antbird restricted to foothill and lower montane forests of northwestern Ecuador and the southwest slope of Colombia. Males are grey and white and females are brown with buffy streaking. It forages in pairs in the forest midstory for insects gleaned from leaves and branches.
Black-hooded Antwren
The Black-hooded Antwren is a critically endangered, tiny antbird with a black hood, white underparts, and rufous-red back in the male. It is endemic to a small area of Atlantic Forest in southeastern Brazil, where it survives in only a handful of fragments of lowland coastal forest. It forages in the understory and vine tangles for small insects and spiders.
