Cocha Antshrike
Thamnophilus praecox
Near ThreatenedThe Cocha Antshrike is an antshrike of humid forests in Ecuador, Peru, and Colombia. A robust antbird with a stout, hooked bill, it gleans insects and other small prey from foliage and vine tangles in the forest understorey. Classified as Near Threatened, it is threatened mainly by the clearing and fragmentation of its forest habitat. Fun fact: Antshrikes are named for their shrike-like hooked bills, used to grab and subdue insect prey.
