White-throated Kingbird

Tyrannus albogularis

Large flycatcher that occupies a variety of habitats, from forest edges to open areas and pastures, to woodlands and urban areas; can appear almost anywhere on migration. It has a light gray head contrasting with a dark mask and white throat. The breast and belly is yellow, the back olive-green, and the wings dark. Similar to Tropical Kingbird, but with a paler head and a more contrasting mask and throat. The call is sharp trill “tic-tic-tic.”

Collared Forest-Falcon

Collared Forest-Falcon

Micrastur semitorquatus

Large and lanky, but heard much more often than seen. Widespread in tropical forest, ranging into semi-open areas with larger trees; in West Mexico it even occurs up into pine-oak forest high in the mountains. Hunts from canopy to forest floor, but usually calls from high in trees. Note the long yellow legs and long rounded tail with narrow white bars. Adults are usually white below, with dark ‘sideburns,’ but can be buffy below, and very rarely are black overall. Immatures have variable dark barring below.

Tocuyo Sparrow

Tocuyo Sparrow

Arremonops tocuyensis

A large sparrow with bold black stripes on a gray head, olive-brown upperparts, and whitish underparts with buffy gray tinge. Eyebrow whitish, usually paler face and median crown stripe. Sexes similar. Uncommon to locally common in scrub and forest border in very dry areas. Hard to see, often in pairs foraging in dense vegetation. Vocalization is a very high-pitched whistle. Very similar to Black-striped Sparrow, which has a grayer eyebrow and is slightly darker overall, as well an usually inhabiting more humid habitats than Tocuyo. Found only in northeastern Colombia and northwestern Venezuela.

Barred Antshrike

Barred Antshrike

Thamnophilus doliatus

A retiring bird of thickets, forest edge, and other tangled vegetation. Distinctive song is heard regularly and pairs are usually within earshot of each other, but antshrikes generally remain hidden. The sexes look very different, but both have a spiky crest that is often raised. Male is barred black-and-white in ‘convict stripes,’ whereas female looks a lot like a wren with a stout bill that has a slightly hooked tip.
