About These Birds
Andean Guan
A medium-sized cracid (~650 g) of family Cracidae, with dull brown-olive plumage and a bare red throat wattle. Inhabits Andean cloud forests and forest edges from Venezuela south to Bolivia at elevations of 1,200–3,500 m. Feeds on fruits, seeds, and invertebrates. Least Concern; widespread in montane Andes and one of the more commonly encountered Penelope guans.
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.
