Sabine's Puffback

Dryoscopus sabini

A relatively large-billed shrike-like bird primarily found in lowland forest canopy. Male is white below and iridescent black above except for a white rump. The female is overall reddish brown, with more reddish wings and a grayish hood. Similar to several bicolored shrikelike birds in the region, but note Sabine’s Puffback’s large bill, striking sexual dimorphism, and unique song, which consists of a distinctive series of long whistles descending in pitch before arriving at a single repeated pitch, growing louder, and then ending suddenly. Songs can sometimes last several minutes, and are more reminiscent of some Yellow Longbill songs than of the songs of other puffbacks. Calls include typical puffback-like rattles and harsh calls.

Ecuadorian Tyrannulet

Ecuadorian Tyrannulet

Phylloscartes gualaquizae

Small, warbler-like flycatcher found in cloud forest along the east slope of the Andes in Ecuador, northern Peru, and southern Colombia. Plumage is yellow-olive with a gray crown, yellowish wingbars, white eyebrow, and black stripe through the eye. Facial pattern is not well-defined, imparting a “messy” look. Also note thin, black bill. Forages actively in the forest canopy, frequently giving a dry, sputtering trill, and is almost always encountered with mixed-species flocks.

Peruvian Antpitta

Peruvian Antpitta

Grallaricula peruviana

Small, very rare antpitta of Andean cloud forest understory. Despite its name, most sightings are from the east slope of the Andes in Ecuador. Both sexes have brown back, white belly, black and white mottled breast, and buffy eyering. Crown and face are chestnut in male and brown in female. Female is similar to Ochre-breasted Antpitta but lacks buffy breast. Song is a single, sweet whistle repeated every five or six seconds.

Greater Bird-of-Paradise

Greater Bird-of-Paradise

Paradisaea apoda

A large bird of lowland and foothill forest and edge. Male has a black breast and white and yellow plumes which he raises above his back during his display, in which he variably hops about and flaps his wings, then holds them out still. May overlap slightly with Lesser and Emperor birds-of-paradise but male Greater is larger and lacks a yellow back. Female Greater is distinguished from other species by its all brown body. Male gives a typical, repeated nasal squawk.
