Flame Bowerbird

Sericulus ardens

A very brightly-colored bowerbird of lowland and foothill forests in southern New Guinea. Male unmistakeable. Bright yellow body with black wing edge and tail. Scarlet from the head down to the shoulders and back, resembling a headscarf. Sometimes a yellow line up the center of the chest up to the bill. Female, brown above with yellow underparts and also a distinctive yellow line down the throat. Makes an avenue bower in clearings. Calls, a downward squeal “kwiiiiiiuuu!” and some harsh rasping.

Tepui Spinetail

Tepui Spinetail

Cranioleuca demissa

Small, creeping bird of highland forest canopy. Chestnut cap, wings, and tail contrast with olive-brown back and gray underparts. At close range, note somewhat decurved bill. Found only in humid highland forests of the tepui region (above 800 m), particularly in areas with heavy growth of mosses and epiphytes. Forages by hitching up large branches and tree trunks, and also creeps along limbs, inspecting bromeliads and bark crevices from which it gleans insect prey. Often encountered with mixed-species flocks. Voice is a long series of high tinkling notes, dropping in pitch and accelerating. No similar species occurs in tepui highlands.

Buff-thighed Puffleg

Buff-thighed Puffleg

Haplophaedia assimilis

Smallish green hummingbird with a thin, very straight bill. Its legs are covered by puffs of fluffy cream-colored feathers, and its fairly long tail is iridescent navy blue. Females are similar to males but with grayer bellies. Shorter-billed than the similar lancebills. Found in the understory and mid-story of humid montane forest.

Black-necked Woodpecker

Black-necked Woodpecker

Colaptes atricollis

Handsome woodpecker found only in the Peruvian Andes. Solid black throat and heavily barred upperparts separate it from the otherwise similar Golden-olive Woodpecker. Male has entirely red crown and mustache; female has red only on hind crown. Found in a variety of habitats, but most common in arid areas with tall columnar cacti; avoids dense forest. Vocalizations include drawn-out whinnies and single “pew” notes.
