About These Birds
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.
Black-and-white Monjita
The Black-and-white Monjita is a vulnerable flycatcher of open grasslands, marshes, and agricultural land in southeastern South America. Males are boldly patterned in black and white and are conspicuous as they perch on fence posts and low shrubs. It is threatened by the conversion of native grasslands to crops and eucalyptus plantations.
