About These Birds
Band-tailed Guan
A medium-sized cracid (~800 g) of family Cracidae, with a distinctive pale-tipped tail band. Inhabits montane humid forests in the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta and Andes of Colombia and Venezuela. Arboreal, feeding on fruits, seeds, and buds in the canopy. Least Concern; restricted to Andean cloud forest but common within its range and tolerates some forest disturbance.
Baudo Guan
A medium-large cracid (~1 kg) of family Cracidae, with olive-brown plumage and a bare red throat. Endemic to the Baudó and western Andes of Colombia and possibly northwestern Ecuador. Inhabits humid lowland and foothill forests up to 1,200 m. Feeds on fruits and seeds in the forest canopy. Endangered due to severe deforestation in the Chocó biodiversity hotspot and hunting pressure.
