About These Birds
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.
Black-crowned Antshrike
The Black-crowned Antshrike is a medium-sized antshrike of Central American and northwestern South American lowland forests, with males showing a black cap, grey body, and black-barred wings. It ranges from Honduras south to Colombia and Ecuador, inhabiting dense forest undergrowth and thickets. It feeds on large insects and spiders, foraging methodically in pairs through the forest understory.
