Rufous-breasted Flycatcher

A large kingfisher of Savanna and monsoon forest. Very thick bicolored bill, spotted head, pale underparts, dark wing with pale blue patch, pale blue rump and darker blue tail. Freezes in position for long periods, occasionally lifting its tail slowly, then flicking it quickly down. Hunts insect prey on the ground. Similar to Blue-winged Kookaburra, but Spangled Kookaburra is smaller with a spotted rather than streaked head and lacks white outer tail feathers.Often duets, with a rhythmic, repeated “gok-gok!” interspersed with a rattling trill.

Large songbird, brown above, white below, with orange crown, dark mask, and snow-white throat. Inhabits montane forests, though it frequently descends into foothills and lowlands during the winter. Moves about through low and mid-level vegetation in large flocks. Vocalizes frequently, if not always loudly; commonly heard giving a rattling chatter or a quiet, hiccuping pair of notes.

An active yellow warbler-like tanager with a gray cap and olive green back. Sexes similar. Found in large groups, pairs, and mixed species flocks, carefully examining foliage and branches while foraging at all levels of forest, most often at low levels with bamboo. Common in wet forest at high elevations in Andes. Like other hemispingus species, very vocal while foraging and moving. No other tanager or warbler is yellow with a distinct gray cap. Endemic to the Andes of Venezuela.
