About These Birds
Bahia Tapaculo
The Bahia Tapaculo is an Endangered tapaculo found in humid Atlantic Forest remnants in Bahia, Brazil, weighing about 17.75g with a wingspan of 10.5cm. Like other tapaculos it is shy and secretive, staying hidden in dense ground-level vegetation. Ongoing deforestation of the Atlantic Forest has fragmented and reduced its already small range.
Ancash Tapaculo
The Ancash Tapaculo is a small Andean bird of the Rhinocryptidae family with a 10 cm wingspan, weighing around 15 grams. It lives in dense montane scrub in Peru's Ancash region. Like other tapaculos, it is cryptic and more easily detected by its calls.
