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.
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.
