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.
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.
