About These Birds

Acre Tody-tyrant

The Acre Tody-tyrant is a near-threatened flycatcher weighing just 9g from Amazonian forests of Brazil and Bolivia. It is secretive and rarely observed in its dense forest undergrowth habitat.

Black-fronted Ground-tyrant

The Black-fronted Ground-tyrant is a small, pale gray flycatcher with a distinctive black forehead and crown contrasting against its otherwise plain gray-white body. It inhabits high-altitude rocky slopes, barren grasslands, and puna habitat in the Andes from Bolivia to northwestern Argentina, typically above 3,500 meters. It forages on the ground, running actively to catch insects and small invertebrates.
