About These Birds
Blackish Tapaculo
The Blackish Tapaculo is a small, rotund bird with blackish-gray plumage, a short cocked tail, and near-vestigial wings. It inhabits dense humid forest undergrowth, bamboo, and cloud forest in the Andes of Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru at elevations from 1,200 to 3,000 meters. It walks and hops through dense vegetation close to the ground, feeding on small insects and invertebrates, rarely flying.
