About These Birds
Alagoas Foliage-gleaner
The Alagoas Foliage-gleaner was a medium-sized furnariid bird weighing about 36 g, endemic to the Atlantic Forest of Alagoas, Brazil. It is now classified as extinct, having last been recorded in the 1980s before its forest habitat was almost entirely destroyed by agriculture.
Apurimac Spinetail
The Apurimac Spinetail is a near-threatened furnariid from Peru's Apurimac valley, weighing about 16 grams with a wingspan near 12 cm. It inhabits dense scrub and bamboo thickets at mid-elevations in the Andes. Like other spinetails, it creeps through tangled vegetation probing for insects and small invertebrates.
