White-winged Becard

Lanio versicolor

The White-winged Becard is a small, strikingly colored bird found in the forests and woodlands of Central and South America. It is known for its distinctive black mask and white wing patches. This species is often found in the upper levels of the forest canopy, where it forages for insects and small fruits. The White-winged Becard is known for its melodious song and is often heard before it is seen. It is a monogamous species, with pairs working together to build intricate nests in the forest foliage. While not currently considered threatened, habitat loss and deforestation are potential future threats to this species.
