Antbirds | Thamnophilidae
Mierklauwieren | Antbirds | Hormigueros
With 166 species in 55 genera this is one of the largest songbird families in the guide, centred on the humid lowland forest on the eastern side of the Andes, along the Amazonian foothills, with a smaller number of species in the Chocó and in the cloud forest on the slopes. It includes antshrikes with a heavy bill hooked at the tip, small, active antwrens in the foliage and antbirds of the undergrowth. The colours are sober: males are often black or grey with small white spots on the wing, females brown or rufous, and many species have a hidden white patch on the back that shows when the bird is excited. They eat insects and spiders. A number of species follow swarms of army ants almost exclusively and catch the insects and other small animals that flee ahead of the ants; the ants themselves they do not eat. Dozens of birds of several species may gather around a single swarm. Pairs stay together for years in a fixed territory, which they defend with simple but distinctive songs, often as a duet. The nest is an open cup, often slung in a horizontal fork, and both parents incubate the clutch of usually two eggs.
