About These Birds

Blackish-headed Spinetail

The Blackish-headed Spinetail is a vulnerable, secretive spinetail with dark gray-black head plumage, rufous-brown upperparts, and a long, loose-textured rufous tail. It inhabits dense humid forest undergrowth and thickets in southwestern Ecuador and northwestern Peru, often in arid to semi-humid areas. It forages furtively close to the ground, creeping through dense tangles for insects and small invertebrates.

Amazonian Plain Xenops

The Amazonian Plain Xenops is a small furnariid weighing about 11 g with a 12.5 cm wingspan, clinging to branches and probing bark for insects in Amazonian forest. Its distinctive upturned bill tip helps it lever off bark to expose hidden prey.
