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.
Agile Tit-tyrant
The Agile Tit-tyrant is a small Andean flycatcher of the Tyrannidae family, weighing about 9 g with a wingspan near 12 cm. It is found in humid montane scrub and forest edges in South America, flitting nimbly through vegetation in search of small insects.
