分布与栖息地

The rhinoceros auklet is a North Pacific auk that breeds from California (the Channel Islands) to the Aleutian Islands in Alaska in North America; and Hokkaidō and Honshū, Japan, as well as the Korean Peninsula and Sakhalin Island in Asia. It winters both in offshore and inshore waters, exhibiting some migration. Between October and April, migration of a large number occurs on pelagic California waters, most coming from breeding colonies north of California. Auks that reside off the California coast remain in their areas.

Olive-crowned Flowerpecker

Olive-crowned Flowerpecker

Dicaeum pectorale

A tiny bird of forest canopy from the lowlands to the mid-mountains in the west of New Guinea. Medium gray upperparts, pale gray underparts to whitish belly, and a whitish throat. Male has a bright red chest patch and a yellowish tinge to the head. Female has a broad pale stripe from the bill down to the center of the chest. Similar in size to a gerygone or Pygmy Longbill, but typical flowerpecker behaviour of flying vocally between the treetops. Voice, a buzzing “jig!” call, given regularly.

Brachygalba salmoni

Distinctive within limited range near the border of Panama and Colombia. Typical jacamar shape with extremely long, pointed bill and an upright stance. Plumage brown overall with darker blue-black gloss on back and breast, off-white throat, and cinnamon belly. Pairs or small family groups are found at forest edges or clearings, often perched conspicuously and sallying out frequently to catch insects.

Silvered Antbird

Silvered Antbird

Sclateria naevia

Unique-looking antbird with a strong affinity for water. Medium-sized and chunky with a rather long bill. Male is medium-gray with a white throat and white spotting on the wings. Note the messy scaly appearance on the breast. Female is similar in pattern but is brownish overall, not gray. Note pale pink legs on both sexes. Widespread and reasonably common throughout much of lowland northern South America, east of the Andes. Almost always found in pairs near the edge of rivers or lakes in lowland forest.
