About These Birds
Black-billed Peppershrike
The Black-billed Peppershrike is a stocky, large-headed vireo relative of Andean foothills in Colombia and Ecuador, distinguished from similar peppershrikes by its entirely dark bill. It inhabits the canopy and edges of humid montane forests and adjacent tall secondary growth. It feeds on large insects and caterpillars, deliberating gleaning prey from foliage with its stout, hooked bill.
Black-headed Shrike-babbler
The Black-headed Shrike-babbler is a stocky bird with a black head, deep chestnut underparts, and olive-green upperparts. It inhabits broadleaf montane forests of the eastern Himalayas and adjacent hills of China and Southeast Asia at elevations from 900 to 2,500 meters. It forages methodically through the forest midstory, prying open bark and searching branches for insects and larvae.
