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-capped Antwren
The Black-capped Antwren is a small, active insectivore of cerrado and dry forests in central Brazil, with the male showing a bold black cap and black-streaked white underparts. It inhabits the mid-story and canopy of dry woodland, cerrado scrub, and caatinga. It forages by gleaning insects and spiders from leaves and bark, often joining mixed-species foraging flocks.
