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-bellied Antwren
The Black-bellied Antwren is a small insectivorous bird of the cerrado and caatinga scrublands of central and eastern Brazil, with the male showing black underparts contrasting with white-streaked black upperparts. It frequents dense low scrub, thickets, and the margins of gallery forests. Pairs forage actively in the understory, gleaning insects and spiders from leaves and stems.
