About These Birds
Black-billed Seed-finch
The Black-billed Seed-finch is a robust, chunky finch of South American lowland forests and forest edges, with males displaying glossy black plumage and a very large, conical black bill suited for cracking large, hard seeds. It ranges across a broad swath of Amazonia in Brazil, Peru, Bolivia, and adjacent countries. It frequents edges of humid forests, river margins, and dense shrubby vegetation.
Azure-rumped Tanager
The Azure-rumped Tanager is a Vulnerable tanager found in humid forests of Guatemala and southern Mexico, weighing about 14g with a wingspan of 17.5cm. It has pale blue-and-white plumage with an azure rump and is restricted to a small and fragmented range. Habitat loss in its cloud forest home poses a significant threat to this species.
