About These Birds

Acre Tody-tyrant

The Acre Tody-tyrant is a near-threatened flycatcher weighing just 9g from Amazonian forests of Brazil and Bolivia. It is secretive and rarely observed in its dense forest undergrowth habitat.

Black-fronted Tyrannulet

The Black-fronted Tyrannulet is a tiny, active flycatcher with olive-green upperparts, yellowish underparts, a pale eye ring, and a conspicuous black forehead patch. It inhabits humid montane forests and forest edges from Venezuela and Colombia south through Ecuador and Peru to Bolivia, typically in the Andean foothills and cloud forest zone. It gleans insects from foliage and twigs high in the forest canopy, often in mixed-species flocks.
