Eyebrowed Heleia

Medium-sized flycatcher with a long slender bill and orange underparts. Male is ocean-blue above, with a lighter-colored forehead, rump, and shoulder patches; darker than similar male Bornean Blue Flycatcher. Female is dark brown above, with paler orange underparts and a blue tail—a plumage unique within this species’s range. Favors inland lowland and lower foothill forests (away from Mangrove Blue Flycatcher’s coastal habitat) and not as strongly associated with riverways and streams as Malaysian Blue Flycatcher. Song is a series of three to four high whistles.

A huge black hornbill with a prominent knob on the bill, conspicuous red “gills” on the sides of the beak, a turquoise-blue throat pouch, and a white tail. Males have a red casque and rufous neck, females a yellow knob and black neck. Juveniles resemble male, but with an entirely yellow casqueless bill. Found in pairs or groups in canopy of forested and wooded areas of lowlands and hills. Larger and more colorful than Sulawesi Hornbill. Gives powerful, short “krok” notes and a more drawn-out “oooo-aa-ooo-aaa.”

Handsome antbird known only from a small area in northeastern Peru. Restricted to lowland rainforest in areas where the soil is sandy. Adult is quite distinctive, with a white mask and throat surrounded by black. The rest of the plumage is chestnut, and the legs are yellow. Juvenile is duller with much less white on the face. Sexes look alike. Found in forest understory, especially in areas with abundant palm saplings. Often seen around swarms of army ants. Song is a drawn out whistle that ends sharply higher.
