About These Birds

Beautiful Treerunner

The Beautiful Treerunner is a near-threatened, bark-creeping bird restricted to humid cloud forests of Panama and Colombia. It has spotted and streaked rufous-brown plumage and clings to tree trunks and branches like a treecreeper. It forages for insects and spiders in mossy bark and epiphytes, and is threatened by forest fragmentation.

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.
