Purple-throated Fruitcrow
Querula purpurata
Large, mostly black bird found in the canopy of lowland forests. Male has wine-colored throat that can be puffed out expressively, but is often difficult to see in poor light. The overall dark color, stout silvery bill, and chunky proportions help identify this bird even at a distance. Also listen for the distinctive purring whistles, “prr-woop, prr-woop.” Typically found in small vocal groups that parade through the canopy, sometimes following mixed-species flocks. Compare with umbrellabirds, which are larger, have a puffy crest, and are much less vocal.
识别特征
It is a stout medium-sized glossy-black bird. Males have a large purple-red upper throat patch, (similar to the gorget of the hummingbirds), extending to the side of the neck. It has a short wide pointed grayish bill, black eyes, and gray legs.

分布与栖息地
It is found in Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, French Guiana, Guyana, Peru, Suriname, and Venezuela; also in southern Central America in Nicaragua, Costa Rica and Panama. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests.<p>The purple-throated fruitcrow ranges across northern South America, with populations west of the Andes cordillera extending into Central America to Nicaragua. It goes from the Guianas and Maranhão state, northeastern Brazil in the east, and throughout the Amazon basin to the Andes foothills in the west; it is only absent in the Amazon Basin in the northeast and north central bordering the Guiana Highlands and southern Venezuela; otherwise the range is contiguous east of the Andes. Its population trend is thought to be downwards but it is a common species with a very wide range and the International Union for Conservation of Nature has assessed its conservation status as being of "least concern".

Makira Dwarf-Kingfisher
Ceyx gentianus
A small kingfisher with deep purplish-blue upperparts and clean white underparts, a white neck spot, and bright orange legs. Bill is black. Prefers mature forest, not necessarily near water, often perching low. No other dwarf-kingfisher shares its range. Told from Little Kingfisher by orange legs and lack of blue on chest. Call apparently nearly identical to that of other Melanesian dwarf-kingfishers: a high-pitched, weak repetitive whistle, often given in flight.
Scarlet-horned Manakin
Ceratopipra cornuta
Small, chunky bird; males are black with a crested red head. Females are olive-green, paler below, with a short crest. Found in humid forest and old second growth. The song is a fast trill; males also make clicking sounds with their wings at a lek. The similar female of White-bearded Manakin lacks the crest and has orange legs.
Swamp Harrier
Circus approximans
Long-legged medium-sized raptor with long narrow wings. Adult has varied plumage, but note diagnostic prominent white rump. Juvenile is darker below. Flies slowly and low over open habitats with wings held in shallow V shape. Breeds in reed-beds, and occurs mainly in swamps and wetlands.
