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-hooded Antshrike
The Black-hooded Antshrike is a medium-sized antbird; males are strikingly patterned in black with white wing spots while females are rufous-brown with dark streaking. It is endemic to the Pacific lowlands of Costa Rica and Panama, inhabiting the interior and edges of humid tropical forest and tall second growth. It forages in pairs through the understory, hunting insects and following army ant swarms.
