Pearly-breasted Conebill

Medium to large woodcreeper of humid evergreen and pine-evergreen forest in highlands and foothills. Feeds at all levels on trunks and larger branches, often at bromeliads. Straightish and rather stout bill is dark above and pale below. Note the pale buff spectacles and distinct pale spotting and scalloping on head, breast, and back (populations south of western Honduras lack spotting on back.)

Large rufous-brown babbler with a long tail and white eyes. Pale gray forehead evident if seen well. Not as bold and pugnacious as some of its close relatives; typically forages in dense undergrowth in foothill forest and forest edge, often in wetter areas than Jungle, Common, and Large Gray Babblers. Gives distinctive rising rattle-whistles: “trriIIII! trriiiIII!”

Multicolored tanager found in humid forests including Araucaria forests and forest borders. Found in pairs or small groups and regularly accompanies mixed-species flocks. Males have a cinnamon head and back with a black mask and a straw-colored rump. They are blue-green below and have blue wings (with straw-colored coverts) and a blue tail. Males are similar to male Black-backed Tanagers, but lack the black back. Females are duller without the male’s mask and have a green back and cinnamon vent. Females are essentially identical to female Black-backed Tanagers.
