About These Birds
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.
Black-headed Grosbeak
The Black-headed Grosbeak is a large, robust finch; males have a striking black head, cinnamon-orange breast, and black-and-white wings, while females are streaked brown. It breeds in open woodland, forest edges, and riparian habitats of western North America, migrating to Mexico and Central America in winter. It uses its powerful bill to crack open seeds and eats insects, berries, and fruits.
