Jouanin's Petrel

Large, long-legged bird shaped much like a heron. Gray body, sometimes with intense rusty staining. Adults have red crown. Often in large flocks at migration and wintering concentration points. Favors marshes and agricultural fields where they eat primarily grains. In flight, neck is outstretched, unlike herons with tucked necks. Snappy wingbeats. Listen for far-carrying bugling call.

Uncommon and local, rather small hummingbird of humid forest edge, plantations, and woodlands in tropical lowlands and foothills. Perches and feeds mainly at middle to upper levels in shady understory and at edges. Note the bright red bill and greenish-gold tail (which often looks grayish). Male has violet gorget. Female has violet throat spotting, but often these areas look rather dull and grayish unless they catch the light.

A small, odd, orange-headed bird with a restricted range in the Marañon drainage of northern Peru and far southern Ecuador. Small and warbler-like; combination of orange head, gray back, buffy underparts, and pale face is unique in its range. Female is duller than male, with less extensive orange on head. Similar to juvenile Rufous-chested Tanager, but has a pale face and lacks a well-defined white patch on the belly. Typically found in pairs or small groups that feed in the canopy of dry and semi-humid forest.
