Scalloped Woodcreeper
Lepidocolaptes falcinellus
Medium-sized woodcreeper with a short, slightly decurved pinkish bill. Found in humid and montane forests, including Araucaria forests, where it typically forages in the canopy. The rufous back contrasts with the whitish throat and prominent eyebrow. Note the buff streaking on the darker brown head and the scaled belly. Similar to Scaled Woodcreeper, which has a duller crown and a less rufous tail.
识别特征
The scalloped woodcreeper is 17 to 20 cm (6.7 to 7.9 in) long and weighs 26 to 30 g (0.92 to 1.1 oz). It is a medium-sized woodcreeper with a longish somewhat decurved bill. The sexes have the same plumage. Adults' faces are creamy white with blackish mottling and have creamy white lores and supercilium. Their crown and nape are dusky to dull black with obvious rich buff spots that often continue as faint streaks onto the upper back. Their back and wing coverts are olive-brown to cinnamon-brown, and their rump and tail rufous-chestnut. Their flight feathers have brown outer webs, chestnut inner webs, and blackish brown tips. Their throat is whitish. Their underparts are olive with bold, blackish-edged, buff streaks that give a scaly appearance. Their underwing coverts are cinnamon. Their iris is brown and their legs and feet greenish gray to greenish brown. Their bill's maxilla is gray, light brown, or pinkish, often with a darker base, and their mandible is creamy white to light brown.

分布与栖息地
The scalloped woodcreeper is found from northeastern São Paulo state in southern Brazil south to Alto Paraná Department in southeastern Paraguay, Misiones and Corrientes provinces in northeastern Argentina, and extreme northeastern Uruguay. It inhabits humid Atlantic Forest and drier forest in the planalto. In the northern part of its range it occurs in montane evergreen forest and rainforest, further south in Araucaria forest, and infrequently in semi-deciduous forest in the southwest. It occurs at the edges and interior of primary forest and older secondary forest. In elevation it mostly ranges from the lowlands to 1,600 m (5,200 ft) and only rarely is found up to 2,000 m (6,600 ft).

Gray-headed Lapwing
Vanellus cinereus
Brown lapwing with a gray head and neck, bright yellow bill, and a white belly and gray breast separated by a dark breast band. When in flight, note striking black primary feathers and white secondaries, as well as a white rump and dark tail. Gregarious, usually seen in loose small flocks, sometimes with other lapwings. Inhabits cultivated wetlands and marshy areas, feeding mainly on insects, worms, and crustaceans. Gives grating, piping screams.
Orange-crowned Euphonia
Euphonia saturata
Small finchlike bird, compact and short tailed with a stout bill. Male has notably orange-tinged underparts and dark upperparts with a purplish sheen. The orange-yellow crown is extensive (not restricted to the forehead like many other euphonias). Also note the underside of the tail, which is entirely dark. Females are plain yellowish-olive overall and difficult to separate from other euphonias, especially Thick-billed, but usually seen in pairs or small groups with males. Frequents woodlands, edges, and clearings in lowlands and foothills, often in fairly dry regions. Can be found in mixed-feeding flocks with other species such as warblers and tanagers.
Sarus Crane
Antigone antigone
Tall pale gray crane with pink legs and red bare skin on head extending down the neck. Juvenile facial coloring less prominent. Typically wades in shallow wetlands or in cropped agricultural areas. Unmistakable in Asia. In Australia, take care to identify from Brolga, which has black legs and gray upper neck. Listen for its loud, far-carrying bugling calls.
