Lord Howe Rail

Greenish and golden tanager of low, dense understory and midstory of humid montane forest just below treeline in the central and Northern Bolivian Andes, including adjacent extreme SE Peru. Distinguished from other hemispinguses by rich orange-gold supercilium and throat. Travels in pairs in mixed species flocks, generally within two meters of the ground. Song a very high, long, uneven twittering,

Brilliant sky-blue warbler of the high canopy. Prefers mature deciduous forest, either in riparian areas or dry mountain ridge-tops. Tends to stay high in the canopy; thus, can be difficult to see blue color. From below, look for white throat and belly, thin necklace, and dark streaks on sides. Female is a unique muted turquoise with pale eyebrow and blurry streaks on sides. Immature birds show yellow wash on underparts. All plumages have bold white wingbars. Easiest to detect in spring and summer by its loud buzzy song, similar to Black-throated Blue but usually richer and more distinctly three-parted; much lower-pitched than Blackburnian Warbler. Winters primarily on the east slope of the Andes from Venezuela to Bolivia.

A relatively dull, tanager-like sparrow found in the foothills and subtropical zone of the Andes from Colombia to Peru. Olive above and grayish below with a bold yellow throat and undertail coverts. Compare with Short-billed Chlorospingus, which shows more flared yellow whisker (not entire throat) and gray (not brownish-red) eye. Fairly common, usually found in small groups that often follow mixed-species flocks. Occurs from around 700–1,800 m.
