Streaked Berrypecker

Streaky brown bird of open, treeless areas along the coastal plain and in adjacent hills. Range is mostly confined to Peru, but also reaches northern Chile. Thin bill helps separate it from finches; also note its yellow legs. No other pipit shares its coastal range. Spends most of the time on the ground, occasionally coming up to perch on a pole, fence, rock, etcetera. Song is a series of chips followed by a gravelly rasp.

Woodland bird of eastern and northern Australia and New Guinea. Strong sexual dimorphism in plumage. Male dark slaty-gray, with black around bill, and black on wings. Female brown, with dark line through eye, extensive fine barring on chest and belly, and fairly plain brown wings (much browner and lacking the white wingbars of Varied Triller). Shows geographical variation, especially in female plumage. Found in the canopy of a wide variety of forest, woodland, scrub, and savanna habitats. Calls include a long (10-second) sequence of insect-like repeated buzzes (hence its name), also a slower version, and a robin-like sequence of clear whistled notes.

A small bird of lowland and montane forest and edge. Unmistakable; the only nuthatch in its range. Blue above with a black edge to the wing, a black forehead, a thin black stripe behind the eye, pale pink underparts, and a yellow bill, eye, and eye-ring. Often joins mixed-species flocks. The only woodpecker similar in size is Philippine Woodpecker, but Sulphur-billed Nuthatch is blue rather than brown. Voice includes high-pitched, descending shrieking calls and sharp staccato chips.
