Gray-hooded Parrotbill
Suthora zappeyi
Gray head, white eyering, and frequently raised bushy crest set this parrotbill apart from others in its range. Inhabits isolated mountaintop forests, where it forages in small flocks in dense stands of bamboo. Gives low, insect-like trills. Highly restricted in range; found reliably on less than a dozen mountaintops, and unrecorded from valleys and lowlands in between.
Red-fronted Macaw
Ara rubrogenys
A large and sometimes conspicuous macaw of Bolivia’s interandean dry valleys. This species is critically endangered, but can sometimes be locally common, especially near tall cliffs cut in hillsides by rivers. Often forages in and around agriculture. The only large, green macaw in its range. Fairly similar to Military Macaw, but shows orange fold to leading edge of wing, no bare facial skin, and a dark gray bill. Often noticed by loud, raucous voice.
Ethiopian Bee-eater
Merops lafresnayii
Beautiful bee-eater with a blue fore-crown, green back, yellow throat, rufous underparts, and deep-blue breast band. In flight, reveals a striking pattern of rufous patches and black bars on the wings and tail. Found in moist, open habitats including savanna, woodland, cultivation, and forest edge. Calls are short, wooden rattles. Very similar to Little Bee-eater, but separated with care by slightly larger size and by the pale patch along the top and back of the yellow throat.
