Hoje vou mostrar para vocês a fêmea da Choca-barrada (Thamnophilus doliatus), uma ave que tem visitado o quintal da casa dos meus pais todos os dias!
Quando estou em São José do Rio Pardo, adoro acordar com o canto dessa ave. É bem fácil de identificar e é muito gostoso de ouvir! Clique AQUI para ouvir tb!
O macho da espécie é todo preto e branco, lindo! Mas ele não estava com vontade de aparecer…

Barred Antshrike
Thamnophilus doliatus
Thamnophilus translates to shrub lover, while doliatus seems to mean barred.
Family: Thamnophilidae (Antbird)
Fun Fact: These birds will follow around trails of army ants (yes sometimes army ants travel by the thousands traversing the rainforest) and they will eat insects and small lizards trying to escape the ants' path.
Habitat: Rainforests of Cental & northern South America.
Ecosystem Role: They help keep insects and small reptiles in check, while providing food for bigger predators like snakes and birds of prey.
Conservation Status: Least Concern
