Yellow-browed Toucanet
Aulacorhynchus huallagae
Small, green toucan found only in remote regions along the east slope of the Andes in northern Peru. Most of its cloud forest habitat is currently inaccessible without a serious expedition, so few birders have ever encountered this rare species. Plumage is mostly green with a red rump and tail tip, a white throat, anda blue breast-band. Distinguished from Blue-banded Toucanet by the yellow (not white) streak above the eye and the vertical white stripe at the base of the bill. Mostly black bill and blue breast-band help separate it from Southern Emerald-Toucanet and Chestnut-tipped Toucanet.
识别特征
The yellow-browed toucanet is 38 to 44 cm (15 to 17 in) long and weighs about 250 to 280 g (8.8 to 9.9 oz). The sexes are alike. Their bill is mostly bluish gray with a whitish gray tip and a bright white band at the base. They are mostly yellowish green above with a purer green crown. The face and sides of the neck are apple green with a short narrow yellow supercilium and bare black skin around the reddish eye. Their throat is whitish that becomes greener to a bright blue band across the lower breast. Their belly and flanks are yellowish green and their undertail coverts are golden yellow. Their tail's upper surface is green with a blue wash on the central pair of feathers; the innermost two pairs have chestnut tips. The tail's underside is dusky bluish.

分布与栖息地
The yellow-browed toucanet has a very small documented range on the east slope of the northern Andes of Peru. It is known from only one location in southern Amazonas Department, two in San Martín Department, and one in northeastern La Libertad Department. It probably occurs between them and possibly further north and south as well, but because the area is roadless opportunities for discovery are limited. It inhabits humid montane forest between elevations of 2,000 and 2,600 m (6,600 and 8,500 ft).

行为
The yellow-browed toucanet forages mostly in the canopy. It is known to feed on fruit but details of its diet are lacking.<p>Essentially nothing is known about the yellow-browed toucanet's breeding biology. Its nesting season appears to span from October to February or March and it is assumed to nest in tree cavities like others of its genus.<p>The yellow-browed toucanet's typical call has been described as "a series of 20 to 30 frog-like krik notes" and also as "a series of harsh grunts: rehh rehh rehh...."

Eurasian Curlew
Numenius arquata
Scimitar-billed large shorebird of varied open habitats. Note large size, overall brown plumage, and long, decurved bill (appreciably shorter on juvenile). In flight shows white back patch, mostly white underwings. Common call an onomatopoeic "coor-lee." Compare to smaller Whimbrel, which has head stripes, a piping whistled call, and Far Eastern Curlew, which has a buffy rump and extensively marked underwings. Breeds mainly in grasslands, from coastal marshes to upland moors; winters mainly in coastal lowlands, especially mudflats and adjacent marshes.
Freckled Nightjar
Caprimulgus tristigma
Large, grayish nightjar. Both sexes show a small white mark in the outer wing. Male shows large white tail corners, while the female’s tail is plain. Found on rocky hills and outcrops, usually in savannah. Song is a loud, repeated “kow-chow.” Most similar to Eurasian Nightjar, but smaller, and lacks strong pale markings on the upperparts.
Emerald-chinned Hummingbird
Abeillia abeillei
Very small, short-billed hummingbird of humid evergreen and pine-evergreen forest in highlands and upper foothills; uncommon. Usually feeds low, often at banks of flowers along edges and roadsides. Feeding flight is usually quick and hard to follow. Best identified by small size, big white spot behind eye, and rather liquid twittering call (similar to Stripe-tailed Hummingbird, which occurs in the same areas but looks quite different).
