Titicaca Grebe

Titicaca Grebe

Rollandia microptera

Endangered grebe found mainly in and around Lake Titicaca in southern Peru and western Bolivia; rare on other large lakes in the high Andes of Bolivia. Rather bulky compared to other Andean grebes, with a colorful yellow-and-red bill and a yellow eye-ring. Breeding birds have white throat, cheeks, and foreneck contrasting with cinnamon crown and hindneck. Nonbreeding birds are paler and more washed-out, with less cinnamon in the plumage. Inhabits lakes with reedbeds and floating vegetation.

Dusky Broadbill

Dusky Broadbill

Corydon sumatranus

Strange-looking bird with predominantly dark plumage, a pale “bib,” and an enormous, deep-set pink bill. Its long body and bulky build makes it seem more like an aberrant roller than a large broadbill. Forages like a roller, frequently making forays from a perch, but much more social, often being encountered in noisy medium-sized groups. Found in forests from lowlands up into the highlands, typically in wetter areas. Gives many different calls, including an ascending series of squeaky notes, as well as mellow single notes and less pleasant-sounding croaks and rattles.

Red-faced Guan

Red-faced Guan

Penelope dabbenei

Mostly arboreal guan endemic to the semi-humid forest with Podocarpus and alders of the mid-elevation east Andes in southern Bolivia and northeast Argentina. Often in ravines and river basins. The sympatric Dusky-legged Guan is more common, but shows grayish-blue skin around the eye. Tends to perch high in trees, singly or in pairs, and often found by far-carrying vocalizations given from high in trees. Note pale supercilium, dull pinkish legs, exposed red orbital skin and wattle.
