About These Birds
Band-tailed Guan
A medium-sized cracid (~800 g) of family Cracidae, with a distinctive pale-tipped tail band. Inhabits montane humid forests in the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta and Andes of Colombia and Venezuela. Arboreal, feeding on fruits, seeds, and buds in the canopy. Least Concern; restricted to Andean cloud forest but common within its range and tolerates some forest disturbance.
Yungas Guan
A large cracid (~1.8 kg) of family Cracidae, inhabiting the Yungas humid montane forests of Bolivia and Argentina. Closely related to Dusky-legged Guan and sometimes treated as a subspecies. Arboreal, feeding on fruits and seeds in cloud forest at 500–2,000 m elevation. Not Evaluated independently by IUCN; taxonomy under review, with population status unclear due to limited survey data.
