Kalinago Wren

Medium-sized antpitta found in the Andes of Bolivia and far southeastern Peru near the border. Adult is grayish-brown with a rufous face and a white throat and belly. The rarely-seen juvenile is darker and heavily barred with buff. Inhabits dense understory of humid forest; usually stays on the ground when not singing, making it very hard to see. Typical song consists of three short whistles; the first note is lower in pitch than the other two.

Long-tailed brownish warbler. The northern subspecies has gray-brown underparts with vague barring, while the southern subspecies has white underparts with clean dark barring. Found in broadleaved woodland and moist savanna. Often raises its tail in wren-like fashion. Northern birds give a repeated cheeping note; southern birds give a metallic, repeated, 3-note call. Northern birds are less distinctive but can still be recognized by their shape and the bars on their underparts.

Gray-brown nightjar of wooded, open grassy, and scrubby areas; not restricted to jungles. Intricately patterned, with a golden patch behind the ear (often not visible on a resting bird) and pale tan spots on the wings. Male shows bright white patches near the wingtips and on the edges of the tail that are buffy-brown in females. Similar Savanna Nightjar is much more densely patterned and lacks the tan wing spots; Savanna also tends to roost on the ground, versus in trees for Jungle Nightjar. Song is utterly alien-sounding and unique: a long series of bouncing “pooKIHpooKIHpooKIH” notes, comparable to a cartoon laser gun.
