Recurve-billed Bushbird
Clytoctantes alixii
EndangeredThe Recurve-billed Bushbird is a bushbird of humid forests in Colombia and Venezuela. It forages in dense streamside thickets and vine tangles, using its heavy bill to take large insects. Classified as Endangered, it is threatened mainly by the clearing and fragmentation of its forest habitat. Fun fact: Despite their name, most antbirds do not eat ants but follow army-ant swarms to catch the insects the ants flush out.
