About These Birds
Antioquia Brushfinch
The Antioquia Brushfinch is a critically endangered sparrow-like bird from Colombia, weighing around 28 grams with a wingspan near 14 cm. Known from only a single location in Antioquia department, it faces imminent extinction due to habitat loss and its extremely limited range. It is among the rarest birds in South America.
Bermuda Towhee
The Bermuda Towhee was an extinct towhee species that was endemic to Bermuda. Known from subfossil bones found in cave and marsh deposits, it was likely a ground-dwelling bird that fed on seeds and insects in the island's original cedar and palmetto forests. It became extinct soon after the islands were first colonized in the early 17th century.
