Rondonia Bushbird

Clytoctantes atrogularis

Near Threatened

The Rondonia Bushbird is a bushbird of humid forests in Brazil. It forages in dense streamside thickets and vine tangles, using its heavy bill to take large insects. Classified as Near Threatened, 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.
