About These Birds
Agile Tit-tyrant
The Agile Tit-tyrant is a small Andean flycatcher of the Tyrannidae family, weighing about 9 g with a wingspan near 12 cm. It is found in humid montane scrub and forest edges in South America, flitting nimbly through vegetation in search of small insects.
Black-and-white Monjita
The Black-and-white Monjita is a vulnerable flycatcher of open grasslands, marshes, and agricultural land in southeastern South America. Males are boldly patterned in black and white and are conspicuous as they perch on fence posts and low shrubs. It is threatened by the conversion of native grasslands to crops and eucalyptus plantations.
