Giant Laughingthrush

Stocky green-and-red quetzal of lowland rainforest. Perches in the mid story of mature rainforest, where most common in upland (terra firme) areas and areas around water. Compared to trogons, is larger and chunkier, with a red bill and without a prominent eye ring. The green uppertail coverts are long, extending down the back side of the tail to just past the tail tip. Listen for its song, a repeated two note series of a breathy whistle followed by a soft note, “wheeew … tuck … wheeew … tuck …”.

Medium-sized foliage-gleaner with a strong head pattern. Uniformly warm rufous apart from a black cap and pale check patch framed by two black lines. Found in humid lowland forests where it usually accompanies mixed-species flocks and forages at all levels. The song is a loud descending trill; also gives metallic “priew” notes.

A medium-sized bird of mid-montane forest understory. Olive back, dirty yellow-green underparts, rufous wing, grey head with a black line bordering the white throat. Like other robins, likes to perch on low, diagonal branches, scanning the ground for insect prey. Similar to White-faced Robin, but Green-backed is larger with rufous wing and dingier, more greenish underparts. Voice, a falling-then-rising “peeoo-wit!” and other rasping notes.
