About These Birds
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.
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.
