Blackish Antbird
Cercomacroides nigrescens
Medium-sized, slender, and rather long-tailed antbird with a large but disjunct range. Males are dark gray with small white spots on the wings. Females are cinnamon below and darker olive-brown above. Most readily identified by voice: an intro note followed by a descending chuckle. Skulks in dense understory of forests mainly in the lowlands, but also into the foothills of the east slope of the Andes.

Regent Bowerbird
Sericulus chrysocephalus
Small forest bowerbird. Males and females differ greatly. Males are black with stunning bright gold on the head and wings. Females are light brown with scalloping on the breast and back; they are much smaller and more lightly build than big, plump Satin Bowerbirds. Males have a bright yellow bill, while female’s is black-gray. Usually found in rainforest. The male builds a small open bower out of twigs and decorates it with small objects in order to attract a mate. This species is not very vocal and is usually only heard calling near a bower.

Sandwich Tern
Thalasseus sandvicensis
Pale medium-sized tern with a geographically variable bill pattern: black with a distinct yellow tip in most of its range; entirely yellow in the Caribbean and parts of South America. Shows a shaggy black cap in breeding plumage; nonbreeding birds develop white forehead. Strictly coastal; most commonly found on beaches and estuaries, often mixed with flocks of other terns. Harsh grating calls similar to other terns.
