September 27, 2023 - Spectacled Barwing (Actinodura ramsayi) These barwings are found in and around mountain forests in parts of Myanmar, Thailand, Laos, Vietnam, and southern China. Foraging in pairs and small flocks, they probably eat invertebrates and some plant foods, though the details of their diet are not known. Little is known about their breeding behavior, but one of their nests was described as a cup constructed from roots with feathery material from the creeper it was built in on the exterior. It had a clutch of two eggs.
