Rufous-breasted Warbling Finch

Large, dark-backed, and stout-billed gull. Adult has dark slaty gray back like Western Gull, but note the rich yellow legs. Immature plumages look much like Western Gull and other large gulls; overall brown in first year with pinkish legs, developing gray back and yellow legs in second year. Restricted range around the Gulf of California in Mexico; some disperse north to the Salton Sea in California. Favors beaches, rocky and muddy intertidal habitats, and fishing harbors.

Medium-sized chunky pigeon that is dark blue with a pale gray hood. Appears short-tailed in flight. Found in rainforest, secondary habitat, and plantations, and locally in dry coastal scrub. Most common at higher elevations in most of its range. Most often seen perched up conspicuously on emergent trees, feeding on fruiting trees, or in flight in small flocks. The common vocalization is a quick series of low hoots or growls. Dark blue coloration and pale head separate it from all other pigeons in its range. 

This attractive warbler is nearly endemic to the Bolivian Andes, barely reaching over the border into Peru. Note the ornate head pattern and olive (not yellow) plumage. Most similar to Riverbank Warbler and the white bellied form of Golden-crowned Warbler, but has a dark loop below the eye and is found at higher elevations. Usually seen in pairs at lower to middle levels of cloud forest. Song is a rising series of piping notes followed by a chatter. Formerly considered a subspecies group of Three-striped Warbler.
