About These Birds
Alagoas Foliage-gleaner
The Alagoas Foliage-gleaner was a medium-sized furnariid bird weighing about 36 g, endemic to the Atlantic Forest of Alagoas, Brazil. It is now classified as extinct, having last been recorded in the 1980s before its forest habitat was almost entirely destroyed by agriculture.
Blackish-headed Spinetail
The Blackish-headed Spinetail is a vulnerable, secretive spinetail with dark gray-black head plumage, rufous-brown upperparts, and a long, loose-textured rufous tail. It inhabits dense humid forest undergrowth and thickets in southwestern Ecuador and northwestern Peru, often in arid to semi-humid areas. It forages furtively close to the ground, creeping through dense tangles for insects and small invertebrates.
