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.
Araguaia Spinetail
The Araguaia Spinetail is a small furnariid from the Araguaia river region of central Brazil, weighing about 18 grams with a wingspan near 12 cm. It inhabits dense riparian scrub and seasonally flooded vegetation along waterways. Like other spinetails, it creeps through tangled stems probing for insects and builds a globular nest with a side entrance.
