Gray-throated Martin

Rather local; found at salt lakes and bogs in the high Andes. Associates readily with Chilean and Andean Flamingos, although each species often stays slightly apart within mixed groups. James’s is the smallest New World flamingo best identified by its relatively short, stubby bill, which is yellow with a black tip. Adult and older immature have distinctive red legs and feet (can be whitish when caked with dried salt). Immature is whitish overall, like other immature flamingos.

Small antshrike found in the lower and middle level of woodlands and second growth. Males are gray with a dark cap and black wings and tail that have prominent white bars and spots. Females are rufous with a grayish face, dark wings, and a similar pattern of spotting on the wings. The song is loud and long: a series of around 20 descending notes with an abrupt finish. Resembles Variable Antshrike, males of which are darker and females more rufescent.

Secretive, rare medium-sized antshrike of the dense forests of the Cordillera Divisor of remote western Brazil and eastern Peru. Males are dark gray with a bluish tint to the back and upperparts, while females are bluish-gray above and brownish-orange below. Inhabits the lower levels of forests, where it is more often heard than seen; voice is a fast series of notes increasing in speed before finishing with a final higher note.
