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.
Ampay Tapaculo
The Ampay Tapaculo is a small, secretive bird of the Rhinocryptidae family with a 10 cm wingspan. It inhabits dense undergrowth in Andean highland habitats. Like other tapaculos, it is more often heard than seen, staying hidden among thick vegetation.
