About These Birds
Black-billed Peppershrike
The Black-billed Peppershrike is a stocky, large-headed vireo relative of Andean foothills in Colombia and Ecuador, distinguished from similar peppershrikes by its entirely dark bill. It inhabits the canopy and edges of humid montane forests and adjacent tall secondary growth. It feeds on large insects and caterpillars, deliberating gleaning prey from foliage with its stout, hooked bill.
Black-capped Vireo
The Black-capped Vireo is a Near Threatened small vireo of Texas and Oklahoma in the United States, wintering on Mexico's Pacific coast, with males displaying a striking black cap, white spectacles, and olive-green and white plumage. It inhabits dense, shrubby oak and juniper thickets in rocky terrain. Brown-headed cowbird parasitism and habitat loss drove its listing as endangered in the past; conservation efforts have aided recovery.
