About These Birds
Black-crested Finch
The Black-crested Finch is a small, elegant finch of open dry habitats in central South America, with males bearing a striking pointed black crest, white face, and grey and black patterned plumage. It inhabits the dry chaco scrublands, thorn scrub, and open woodland of Paraguay, Bolivia, and northwestern Argentina. It feeds on seeds and small insects, often foraging on the ground.
Azure-rumped Tanager
The Azure-rumped Tanager is a Vulnerable tanager found in humid forests of Guatemala and southern Mexico, weighing about 14g with a wingspan of 17.5cm. It has pale blue-and-white plumage with an azure rump and is restricted to a small and fragmented range. Habitat loss in its cloud forest home poses a significant threat to this species.
