About These Birds
Black-hooded Antshrike
The Black-hooded Antshrike is a medium-sized antbird; males are strikingly patterned in black with white wing spots while females are rufous-brown with dark streaking. It is endemic to the Pacific lowlands of Costa Rica and Panama, inhabiting the interior and edges of humid tropical forest and tall second growth. It forages in pairs through the understory, hunting insects and following army ant swarms.
