About These Birds
Black-chinned Antbird
The Black-chinned Antbird is a small antbird of Amazonian forests in Brazil, Venezuela, Colombia, and Peru, typically found in flooded forests and forest edges near rivers and streams. Males are dark grey with a black chin and throat, while females have a white throat with black spots. It feeds on insects, often following army ant swarms, and frequently cocks its tail while foraging.
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.
