Media notes
A bird eating a frog. Published in HBW Volume 15 on page 394. Original HBW caption: Like a true shrike (Laniidae) the Rufous-browed Peppershrike is capable of dealing with large arthropods or even, as here, frogs; it has also been observed killing lizards. However, a study of the stomach contents of this and other Neotropical passerines, compiled from various sources, indicates that consumption of vertebrates is relatively rare: of 131 vireonid stomachs, only two contained vertebrate remains. Vireonids use their feet to hold down large prey while dismembering it with the bill. IBC scientific name: Cyclarhis gujanensis gujanensis. Original IBC location name and coordinates: Bolívar State (5.9658,-63.5889). Elevation: 752 m. Date added to IBC: June 21, 2016.
