About These Birds
Araucaria Tit-spinetail
The Araucaria Tit-spinetail is a small furnariid closely associated with Araucaria pine forests in southern Brazil and Argentina, weighing about 11 grams with a wingspan near 11.5 cm. It creeps along branches and among pine needles searching for insects, often in the company of mixed-species flocks. Its dependence on Araucaria forest links its fate to the conservation of this threatened ecosystem.
Alagoas Foliage-gleaner
The Alagoas Foliage-gleaner was a medium-sized furnariid bird weighing about 36 g, endemic to the Atlantic Forest of Alagoas, Brazil. It is now classified as extinct, having last been recorded in the 1980s before its forest habitat was almost entirely destroyed by agriculture.
