In each Random Bird Thursday (RBT) episode, the goal is to highlight a bird species that probably isn't going to get featured in a full-length podcast episode. These are birds we might overlook, even though they certainly deserve some appreciation and attention. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ⚠️ SPOILER ALERT! The featured species in this episode is the Bicolored Antbird ( Gymnopithys bicolor ). Sound Citations : Niels Krabbe, XC250916. Accessible at Johan Chaves, XC949385.
