| Furnarius figulus (Lichtenstein, 1823) |
The Wing-banded Hornero (Furnarius figulus), or the Tail-banded Hornero is a species of bird in the Furnariidae family, the ovenbirds. It is endemic to Brazil in the northeast-east; also the Amazon River outlet regions.
Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests and heavily degraded former forest.
[edit] Range: Caatinga, Amazon River
Wing-banded Hornero exists in two ranges separated by 1000 km. The largest range occurs in Atlantic northeastern and eastern Brazil, the Northeast Region, Brazil and Caatinga, as well as into continental regions inland, (part of the Cerrado); a second population ranges upstream in a 150 km wide strip, along the Amazon River about 1700 km as well as southwards to the upstream reaches of the Araguaia River in the adjacent Tocantins-Araguaia River drainage. This southerly strip ranges between two river systems, a strip about 500 km wide, and approximately 2400 km long; the western portion is the downstream half of the Xingu River.
