About These Birds

Azara's Spinetail

Azara's Spinetail is a small furnariid found in shrubby Andean slope vegetation and forest edges from Colombia to Argentina. Weighing about 15.65g with a wingspan of 10.8cm, it has rufous wings and a long graduated tail typical of spinetails. It forages secretively through dense undergrowth for insects and other small invertebrates.

Amazonian Plain Xenops

The Amazonian Plain Xenops is a small furnariid weighing about 11 g with a 12.5 cm wingspan, clinging to branches and probing bark for insects in Amazonian forest. Its distinctive upturned bill tip helps it lever off bark to expose hidden prey.
