About These Birds
Bicolored Antbird
The Bicolored Antbird is a medium-sized antbird found in lowland rainforests from Honduras to western Ecuador and western Amazonia. Males are boldly bicolored with a black back and white underparts, while females are brown. It is an obligate army ant follower, catching insects flushed by ant columns from the forest floor.
Alagoas Antwren
The Alagoas Antwren is a critically endangered antbird of northeastern Brazil, weighing about 10 g with a wingspan near 10 cm. It is restricted to very small forest fragments in Alagoas state and faces severe extinction pressure from ongoing deforestation and habitat fragmentation.
