Caura Antbird

Myrmelastes caurensis

Large-billed antbird. Males are gray with white-spotted wings, and females are rusty-colored with gray sides to the head and buff-spotted wings. Occurs in humid forest with an open understory, where it forages at lower levels and on the ground, often in areas with large boulders covered with mosses and ferns; does not accompany mixed-species flocks. The song is a loud, descending series of notes that accelerate slightly at the end.

Lalage melanoptera

Male has dark slaty-gray head, neck, and upper breast; rest of the body is pale gray, with white on the belly. Wings darker than mantle.

Juvenile is similar to female, but upperparts barred white. Immature similar to female. Song is a series of clear, loud whistles: “pee-pe-pe-pe-pe-twe-twee.” Some notes can be omitted, or additional notes added.

Ortalis vetula

Large chickenlike bird found in brushy woodland. Olive-brown overall with warmer buffy belly and long tail and neck. Bare red moustache is usually hidden. Tail feathers have white tips. Extremely noisy and full of character. Small groups crash through the brush from tree to tree with the grace of a large bulldozer. Often heard "singing" a cacophony of grating shouts and squawks. Feeds mainly on fruit.

Gubernetes yetapa

Spectacular flycatcher with a long and deeply forked tail. Grayish overall with a white throat and a black half collar that is continuous with the eye stripe. The wings are black with a cinnamon patch. Females have a slightly shorter tail. Usually found around palm groves, marshes, and grasslands near water. The call is sharp but melodic “djewp,” and during their hilarious noisy duet display, they cheerily raise and lower their head and raise their tail with wings open.
