About These Birds
Black-capped Antwren
The Black-capped Antwren is a small, active insectivore of cerrado and dry forests in central Brazil, with the male showing a bold black cap and black-streaked white underparts. It inhabits the mid-story and canopy of dry woodland, cerrado scrub, and caatinga. It forages by gleaning insects and spiders from leaves and bark, often joining mixed-species foraging flocks.
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.
