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.
Black-billed Treehunter
The Black-billed Treehunter is a robust furnariid of Andean foothills forests in Ecuador and northern Peru, distinguished by its dark bill, boldly streaked brown plumage, and habit of probing mossy bark and dense bromeliads. It inhabits the undergrowth of humid montane forests and forest edges. It feeds on insects and other invertebrates, foraging low in dense vegetation.
