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.
Bay-capped Wren-spinetail
The Bay-capped Wren-spinetail is a small, brown ovenbird found in the marshes and wet grasslands of southern Brazil, Uruguay, and northeastern Argentina. It has a distinctive rufous cap and inhabits tall reedbeds and grassy wetland margins. It forages low in dense marsh vegetation for insects and other small invertebrates.
