Malabar Woodshrike

Tephrodornis sylvicola

Large, dark woodshrike with ashy gray upperparts and darker gray wing panel and tail with a variable brownish tinge. A prominent black face mask surrounds the pale yellow iris. Underparts are white. Lacks the pale supercilium of the Common Woodshrike. Malabar Woodshrike typically inhabits tropical and subtropical lowland forests, both humid and dry, as well as clearings in evergreen forests. It is endemic to the Western Ghats region. This bird has a loud ringing call: “twee-tu, twee-tu, twee-tu.”

Red-and-green Macaw

Red-and-green Macaw

Ara chloropterus

Enormous parrot with a long pointed tail, a red head and body with mostly blue wings and green wing coverts. It has a white face with distinct red stripes. Only possible confusion species is Scarlet Macaw, which has yellow (not green) wing coverts and lacks red stripes on the face. Found in lowland rainforests from eastern Panama to Paraguay. Usually found in pairs, flying over the forest and perching in the canopy. Can gather in small groups, especially at fruiting trees or clay licks. Nests in cavities. Listen for raucous calls, typical of large macaws.

Oxapampa Antpitta

Oxapampa Antpitta

Grallaria centralis

Medium-sized antpitta described to science in 2020. It inhabits high elevation cloud forest along the east slope of the Andes in central Peru. Plumage is mostly chestnut brown with a pale patch on the belly. It does not show a distinct eyering or any gray in the crown, which helps to separate it from similar antpittas in the region. Voice is also very useful; songs include a single whistle repeated every four to five seconds as well as a quick, descending series. Usually stays low inside tangles where it is hard to see.

Urubamba Antpitta

Urubamba Antpitta

Grallaria occabambae

Plump, mostly terrestrial bird with long legs and a short tail found at high elevations in the eastern Andes of southern Peru. Plumage is mostly chestnut brown but is slightly paler on the belly. Similar to Leymebamba Antpitta, but larger, longer legged, and lacks gray in the plumage. The white eyering helps to separate it from Ayacucho Antpitta. Voice is also very helpful for ID; depending on location, it gives either three quick whistles with a pause after the first, or just two whistles. Also sometimes sings a longer, decelerating series of around ten notes. Usually stays well-hidden on or near the forest floor. Formerly considered a subspecies of what used to be called Rufous Antpitta.
