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.
Amazonian Plain Xenops
The Amazonian Plain Xenops is a small furnariid weighing about 11 g with a 12.5 cm wingspan, clinging to branches and probing bark for insects in Amazonian forest. Its distinctive upturned bill tip helps it lever off bark to expose hidden prey.
