Malagasy Brush-Warbler

Small parrot, widespread but uncommon across the lowlands of northern South America. Difficult to see well unless a flock drops into a clay lick; otherwise, most often detected by voice as they pass over in high-flying flocks. Overall green with some brownish or yellowish tones on the head and dark forehead. Note the blue and red shoulder; the red especially can be limited or completely hidden. In flight, shows bright red underwing covert and a short, squared-off tail. Compare with the slightly larger Cobalt-winged Parakeet.

Dark, subtly-patterned tinamou. Cold grayish brown, with a more reddish head and variable black barring on the wings; females are more strongly barred than males. Usually found in mature upland rainforest. Its song is a distinctive long, flat whistle that is held for at least five seconds, sometimes much longer; beware, in parts of their range there are similar-sounding cicadas!

Medium-sized woodpecker with a bold, yellow stripe through its face. Inhabits lowland and foothill rainforest. Both sexes have olive-green back, scaled breast, and barred belly. Male has red crown and mustache stripe; female has red only on hindcrown. Similar to Yellow-throated Woodpecker, but a white throat and much less yellow on face. Compared to Golden-green Woodpecker, breast is scaled (not barred), and eye is dark. Forages at middle to upper levels of the forest, often with mixed-species flocks. Typical call is a hoarse scream.
