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-crowned Antshrike
The Black-crowned Antshrike is a medium-sized antshrike of Central American and northwestern South American lowland forests, with males showing a black cap, grey body, and black-barred wings. It ranges from Honduras south to Colombia and Ecuador, inhabiting dense forest undergrowth and thickets. It feeds on large insects and spiders, foraging methodically in pairs through the forest understory.
