Borba Antbird

Phlegopsis borbae

The Borba Antbird (Phlegopsis borbae) is a species of bird found in the Amazon rainforest of Brazil. It is known for its distinctive vocalizations and unique foraging behavior, often following army ant swarms to feed on insects flushed out by the ants. This species has a striking black and white plumage with a bright red eye. It is often found in the understory of dense, humid forests, where it moves stealthily through the vegetation in search of prey. The Borba Antbird plays an important ecological role in controlling insect populations and contributing to the overall biodiversity of the Amazon rainforest.
