About These Birds
Blackish-blue Seedeater
The Blackish-blue Seedeater is a small, dimorphic finch; males are uniform dark slaty-blue to blackish while females are warm brown with a pale bill. It inhabits bamboo thickets and dense scrub within Atlantic Forest and adjacent areas in southeastern Brazil, Paraguay, and northeastern Argentina. It specializes in feeding on bamboo seeds but also takes other grass seeds and small insects.
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.
