About These Birds
Black-capped Foliage-gleaner
The Black-capped Foliage-gleaner is a medium-sized furnariid of Atlantic Forest in southeastern Brazil and northeastern Argentina, with a bold black cap contrasting with rufous-brown upperparts and pale buff underparts. It inhabits primary and mature secondary humid forests, foraging in the mid-story and canopy. It feeds on insects and other invertebrates, probing dead leaf clusters and bark crevices.
Amazonian Plain Xenops
The Amazonian Plain Xenops is a small furnariid weighing about 11 g with a 12.5 cm wingspan, clinging to branches and probing bark for insects in Amazonian forest. Its distinctive upturned bill tip helps it lever off bark to expose hidden prey.
