About These Birds
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.
Bay-ringed Tyrannulet
The Bay-ringed Tyrannulet is a small flycatcher of the Atlantic Forest in southeastern Brazil and northeastern Argentina. It has a brownish-olive plumage with faint wing bars and a subtle eye ring. It forages actively in forest canopy and edges, gleaning insects from foliage.
