About These Birds
Black-and-white Antbird
The Black-and-white Antbird is a strikingly patterned antbird found in river-edge scrub, bamboo, and forest borders along major Amazonian rivers. Males are boldly patterned in black and white. It skulks in dense riverine vegetation and often follows mixed antbird flocks, feeding on insects flushed from the vegetation.
Alagoas Antwren
The Alagoas Antwren is a critically endangered antbird of northeastern Brazil, weighing about 10 g with a wingspan near 10 cm. It is restricted to very small forest fragments in Alagoas state and faces severe extinction pressure from ongoing deforestation and habitat fragmentation.
