Cinereous-breasted Spinetail
Synallaxis hypospodia
Medium-sized spinetail with a long tail and a black patch on the throat. Like other Synallaxis spinetails it has a rusty crown and wings, but note the grayish face, olive-brown back and tail, grayish breast, and a white chin. It inhabits wet grasslands and open areas with scattered shrubs; often near water. The song is a loud and accelerated series of “chéw, chew-chee-chee-chee-ee-ee-ee-ee-ee-eu”.
识别特征
The cinereous-breasted spinetail is 15 to 16 cm (5.9 to 6.3 in) long and weighs 15 to 18 g (0.53 to 0.63 oz). The sexes have the same plumage. Adults have a faint gray supercilium on an otherwise gray-brown face. Their forecrown is dark gray-brown, their crown and nape chestnut-rufous, and their back, rump and uppertail coverts dark brown. Their wing coverts are chestnut-rufous and their flight feathers dark brown with rufescent edges. Their tail is a darker brown than the back; it is graduated and the feathers have rounded tips. Their chin and throat are mostly whitish; the lower throat feathers are blackish with whitish edges. Their breast is brownish gray ("cinereous" means ash-colored), their belly whitish, and their flanks and undertail coverts brownish. Their iris is reddish brown, their maxilla black, their mandible silvery gray to grayish horn, and their legs and feet olive or grayish olive to brownish yellow. Juveniles have a gray-brown crown, mostly ochraceous clay-brown underparts, and a less distinct throat patch than the nominate.
分类信息

分布与栖息地
The cinereous-breasted spinetail has a disjunct distribution. One population is found in far eastern Peru's Department of Madre de Dios, northern and eastern Bolivia, and Brazil's western Amazon Basin. Another is found from Ceará and Alagoas in northeastern Brazil southwest through Mato Grosso do Sul slightly into southeastern Bolivia and northeastern Paraguay. There are also records at scattered locations throughout central Peru, but some of these are suspected to be misidentifications. <p>The cinereous-breasted spinetail inhabits a variety of open landscapes including seasonally wet grassland, scrublands, campina, and savannah. Within them it favors areas near water. In elevation it ranges from near sea level to about 700 m (2,300 ft).

行为
The cinereous-breasted spinetail is a year-round resident throughout its range.<p>The diet and foraging behavior of the cinereous-breasted spinetail are not well known. It is thought to feed on arthropods that it gleans from foliage and small branches, staying about 1 to 2 m (3 to 7 ft) above the ground. It is usually seen in pairs.<p>Nothing is known about the breeding biology of the cinereous-breasted spinetail.<p>Remsen describes the cinereous-breasted spinetail's principal vocalization as "a hurried and loud chatter on same pitch, 'chéw, chew-chee-chee-chee-ee-ee-ee-ee-ee-eu', accelerating at end". As described by vanPerlo, it is a "high, sharp 'tut-Drrrrrrruh' (last part staccato and slightly descending)".

Apo Sunbird
Aethopyga boltoni
A small, localized bird of mid- to high-elevation montane forest on Mindanao. Has a long, curved bill, a gray head, yellow underparts and rump, an olive back and wings, and a white-tipped tail. Male has a narrow pale yellow throat stripe from the bill to the chest bordered with dark gray, a greenish-blue tail, an orange smudge down from the middle of the chest, and a small red patch in front of the shoulder. Female has a pale gray throat. Similar to Gray-hooded Sunbird, but Apo has a yellow rather than a white belly. Voice includes a rapid pulsing series of “chip!” notes and a high-pitched upslurred “chuuuuuit!”
Black-bellied Bustard
Lissotis melanogaster
A lithe, medium-sized bustard with black daubs on a mostly tan-colored back. The male has a black belly, neck stripe, throat, and face patch. The female is uniform buff-brown from the belly to the head. In flight, both sexes have white windows in the wings. Singles and pairs inhabit tall grassland and grassy savanna. Its strange display involves the male stretching his neck and making a frog-like “kwoork” croak, and as he retracts his head to the shoulders, follows with a “grrrr” growl and champagne-cork-like “pop” while his head lifts again. He also performs an aerial display with the wings held back rigidly and with a puffed throat exposed.
Purple-headed Starling
Hylopsar purpureiceps
A small glossy starling often found in the canopy of fruiting trees in groups of varying sizes, sometimes with other species of starling. Note the glossy green-blue body, the dark purplish head and throat that can appear black at a distance, and the short tail. Distinguished from other glossy starlings by its short tail and relatively unicolored appearance. Calls include a whistled “twa!” or “wheet!” as well as more starling-like chattering “reer” or “heer” notes.
