About These Birds
Black-and-gold Cotinga
The Black-and-gold Cotinga is a rare cotinga of the cloud forests of the Colombian and Ecuadorian Andes. Males are strikingly patterned in glossy black and gold. Like other cotingids, it feeds on fruit in the forest canopy and males display at traditional leks.
Apolo Cotinga
The Apolo Cotinga is an endangered passerine from Bolivia's Apolo region, weighing about 46 grams with a wingspan near 19 cm. It inhabits humid montane forests in a very restricted area of the Bolivian Andes. This rare cotinga remains poorly known due to its remote habitat and small population size.
