Yellow-eyed Junco
Junco phaeonotus
This distinctive sparrow is common in open montane woodland usually dominated by pine. Primarily a Mexican species, barely enters U.S. Much like Gray-headed and Red-backed subspecies of Dark-eyed Junco but with staring yellow eye and rufous back usually extending onto wings. Otherwise pale gray, darkest around the eye. Bill half black, half yellow. White outer tail feathers like Dark-eyed Junco. Forages on the ground, but perches higher when singing. Song has a similar ringing tone to Dark-eyed Junco, but usually with several distinct sections of chips and trills.
识别特征
The yellow-eyed junco (Junco phaeonotus) is a species of bird in the family Passerellidae, the New World sparrows. It is found from the southwestern United States to Guatemala.
分类信息
The yellow-eyed junco was formally described in 1831 by the German naturalist Johann Georg Wagler from a specimen collected in Mexico. He introduced a new genus, Junco, and coined the binomial name Junco phaeonotus. The genus name is from Latin iuncus meaning "rush". The specific epithet combines the Ancient Greek phaios meaning "dusky" or "brown" with -nōtos meaning "-backed".<p>Four subspecies are recognised:

Choco Poorwill
Nyctiphrynus rosenbergi
Dark brown night bird of humid forest in lowlands and foothills. Choco refers to its geographical range in western Colombia and northwestern Ecuador. White spots on wings are usually only seen when perched. In flight, wings typically show no markings at all, unlike other nightjars in the region. Tail is narrowly tipped white. Inhabits rainforest interior and is heard far more often than seen. Song is a rising series of three or four burry whistles; when there are only three, it can be transcribed as “can’t see ME!”
Bahia Tyrannulet
Phylloscartes beckeri
Small flycatcher with a long tail that is usually held cocked. Has an olive-green back, a whitish throat, and yellowish underparts. Note the dusky eye-stripe, buff eye-ring, and yellow wingbars. Found in humid forest at higher altitudes (750-1200 m), where it actively forages in the canopy and almost invariably accompanies mixed-species flocks. Call is a series of short, soft “tik” notes.
Black-necklaced Scimitar-Babbler
Erythrogenys erythrocnemis
Medium-sized, strikingly patterned songbird endemic to Taiwan, where less common than Taiwan Scimitar-Babbler. Brown above, white below, with rich olive-brown flanks, rusty undertail coverts, and black “necklace” of blobby black streaks. Inhabits foothill and montane forests, where it skulks in undergrowth and shrubby edge. Pairs duet, giving bouncy-sounding hoots; alarm calls harsh and grating.
