About These Birds
Amazonian Grosbeak
The Amazonian Grosbeak is a deep-blue cardinalid weighing around 25 g with a 15.5 cm wingspan, inhabiting dense forest undergrowth and thickets in the Amazon. Its heavy bill is adapted for cracking hard seeds and fruit pits.
Black-cheeked Ant-tanager
The Black-cheeked Ant-tanager is a Near Threatened species restricted to the Osa Peninsula and adjacent areas of southwestern Costa Rica, with males displaying a red crest, black cheeks, and a rose-red throat. It inhabits the interior of humid lowland forests, where it associates with army ant swarms to capture insects flushed by the ants. Deforestation on the Osa Peninsula poses the main threat to this species.
