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.
Allpahuayo Antbird
The Allpahuayo Antbird is a vulnerable antbird weighing about 23 g with a wingspan near 13 cm. It is restricted to white-sand forests in the Peruvian Amazon, a highly specialised habitat type, and forages in dense undergrowth for insects, often following army ant swarms.
