White-lored Warbler
Myiothlypis conspicillata
Gray and yellow warbler found only in the Santa Marta Mountains of Colombia. Note the white crescents above and below the eye, white stripe between the eye and the bill, and the dark crown stripes. Usually encountered in pairs that stay quite low inside cloud forest. Gives a squeaky, high-pitched series of notes, and pairs often sing together. Regularly seen in El Dorado Nature Reserve, often near the lodge.

Hangnest Tody-Tyrant
Hemitriccus nidipendulus
Tiny, two-toned yellow-and-green flycatcher that inhabit dense woodlands, forest edges, and coastal forests. Note the pale eyes, plain olive-green back, and no wingbars. Whitish below with a lightly streaked throat. Like several other closely-related species it builds an elongated purse-shaped hanging nest. The song is a series of high-pitched “prre-prrew-prrew” notes.

Chestnut Bulbul
Hemixos castanonotus
Attractive songbird of forested lowlands and foothills, as well as adjacent parks, farms, and gardens. Chestnut-brown above, white below, with blackish crown and wings and gray wash on breast. Usually found in small to medium-sized flocks, occasionally mixing with other species. Song a distinctive series of three notes with the last being a soft, hoarse whistle; calls include chatters and rattles.

Ocellated Piculet
Picumnus dorbignyanus
Gray, spotted piculet of mid-elevation forests. Dusky gray above and white below, with extensive black spotting from the head to the belly; males have a scarlet red forehead patch. Found at higher elevations than most other piculets in its range; grayer, with much more extensive black spotting, than the pale Fine-barred Piculet. Forages singly or in pairs in the mid-story of humid montane forest, sometimes joining mixed-species flocks. Its song is a very high, descending series of sharp, metallic notes.
