About These Birds

Bahia Spinetail

The Bahia Spinetail is a Near Threatened spinetail endemic to a restricted area of the Bahia state in northeastern Brazil, weighing about 18.5g with a wingspan of 11cm. It inhabits caatinga scrub and dry forest edge, foraging through dense vegetation. Its restricted range and habitat degradation make it susceptible to extinction.

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.
