About These Birds

Black-faced Apalis

The Black-faced Apalis is a small, slim warbler-like bird with gray upperparts, white underparts, and a distinctive black mask across the face and throat. It is restricted to montane forests of the Albertine Rift in east-central Africa, inhabiting dense vegetation at elevations from 1,500 to 3,000 meters. It forages actively through the canopy and understory, gleaning small insects and invertebrates from leaves and branches.

Black-backed Cisticola

The Black-backed Cisticola is a small, grassland-dwelling warbler found in the damp grassy areas and wetland margins of West and Central Africa. It has a black back with buff streaking and warm rufous tones on the head and wings. It perches atop grass stems, singing persistently, and feeds on insects and small seeds.
