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.
Allpahuayo Antbird
The Allpahuayo Antbird is a vulnerable antbird weighing about 23 g with a wingspan near 13 cm. It is restricted to white-sand forests in the Peruvian Amazon, a highly specialised habitat type, and forages in dense undergrowth for insects, often following army ant swarms.
