About These Birds
Black-cowled Saltator
The Black-cowled Saltator is a large, robust saltator of dry forest edges and scrub in western Ecuador and northwestern Peru, with a distinctive black hood contrasting with grey upperparts and white underparts. It inhabits thorn scrub, dry deciduous forests, and their edges. It feeds on large insects, seeds, and fruits, using its stout bill to crack open hard-shelled seeds.
