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.
Bahia Antwren
The Bahia Antwren is a Near Threatened antbird endemic to the Atlantic Forest of Bahia state, Brazil, weighing about 8.9g with a wingspan of 9.8cm. It inhabits the canopy and sub-canopy of humid forest and forest edge, foraging for insects in mixed-species flocks. Deforestation of the Atlantic Forest has greatly reduced its habitat.
