White-headed Barbet
Lybius leucocephalus
Chunky, medium-sized black-and-white barbet. There is a wide range of geographical variation in the distribution and extent of black and white in the plumage. The tail can be black or white, the wings can be all black or heavily white-spotted, and the underparts can be all white or all black with thin white streaks. Found locally, usually in the vicinity of fig trees, in a variety of habitats including open savanna, gardens, lush woodland, and gallery forest. The calls are a repeated “wheet” and rapid chatters which are usually given together by a group.

Blue-throated Macaw
Ara glaucogularis
Large macaw endemic to flooded grasslands of El Beni, Bolivia (Llanos de Moxos). Breeds in cavities in tall palms, and threatened by habitat loss. Most of the population is highly localized into a few breeding and foraging localities where grassland is less impacted by grazing. From sympatric (and much more common) Blue-and-yellow Macaw by blue throat and more extensive feathering on face.
Andean Ibis
Theristicus branickii
Large, boldly patterned, and often noisy ibis. Uncommon and local. No similar species in range. Favors high-elevation puna grasslands. Loud trumpeting cries carry long distances.
Greater Pewee
Contopus pertinax
Large, drab flycatcher with spiky crest. Few defining plumage marks; overall brownish-gray with slightly paler belly and faint wingbars. Bill is long with orange lower mandible. Similar to Olive-sided Flycatcher but drabber without contrasting vest. Separated from wood-pewees by crest and longer bill. Native to Mexico and northern Central America; found in mountainous forests, usually with conifers. Limited range in U.S. Often perches conspicuously and sings its clear whistled “Jose Maria” song.
