White-fronted Ground-Tyrant

Large green and buff-colored hummingbird of the remote tepui highlands of southern Venezuela and extreme northern Brazil. Note the green upperparts, whitish spot behind the eye, and buff tail and underparts. Sexes similar. Common in tepui highlands, in bushes, forest edges, and open areas with small trees. Territorial, often alone or in pairs close to flowers. Voice is a nasal “dui” note repeated many times.

A rather distinctive small green songbird with a yellow face, a bold black line through the eye, black scalloping on the crown, and streaked light yellow underparts. Juveniles plainer, with little or no streaking on crown and underside. Found in pairs or groups in forest within lowlands and foothills, usually occupying the canopy or subcanopy. Combination of streaked underside and absence of white eye-ring is unique among white-eyes in range. Call is a penetrating, rowdy monotonous squabbling: “wikikikikikikiki….”. Also gives a weak “seer” call.

Chunky medium-sized parrot with a long tail, bright green plumage with slightly yellower underparts, and a red forehead and eyeline. Some blue in the flight feathers most visible in flight. Uncommon and local; found in remnant patches of higher-quality habitat and often encountered feeding on the seeds of casuarinas. Calls relatively high-pitched and nasal, higher-pitched than the calls of Horned Parakeet.
