Choco Tyrannulet

Spectacular green crested turaco. Shows large crimson wing patches in flight. Found in rainforest and gallery forest. Acts like a typical turaco, bouncing through the trees, and flying occasionally with short bursts of wingbeats and long glides. Call is a gruff, accelerating series of “kow” notes. Similar to Schalow’s and Guinea Turacos, but minimal overlap in range. Crest is shorter than that of Schalow’s Turaco and has a white tip, unlike that of Guinea Turaco.

Small olive-yellow flycatcher with black ear patch, gray crown, pinkish lower mandible, and bold, contrasting yellowish wing bars. Sexes similar. Found alone or in pairs, usually at medium to high levels in forest. Occurs in mature humid forest of montane regions. Voice a fast and descending trill “trrrrrr tzee tzee tzee tzee…” Distinguished from Marble-faced Bristle-Tyrant by contrasting black wing coverts and bold yellowish wingbars, pinkish (not gray) lower mandible, and cleaner face. Endemic to the Coastal Cordillera of Venezuela.

Yellow-bellied trogon with pale blue or yellow eyering and yellowish bill. Male has shimmering green-blue upperparts and chest; female is brown. Underside of tail barred black and white with large white tips. Found in forested areas, usually sitting still at low to middle heights (often lower than other trogons in range). Male from Amazonian Trogon by head and chest color (greener, not deep blue), yellower bill, and voice. Brown color of female is distinctive, unlike slaty-gray of female Amazonian. Listen for song: a slow, evenly-spaced series of 3-6 slurred whistled notes.
