Black-billed Barbet
Lybius guifsobalito
A medium-sized black barbet with a mostly red head. With a good look, pale edges to the wing feathers are visible. Found at middle elevations in woodland, scrub, and cultivated areas, usually in pairs or small groups. Similar to Red-faced Barbet, but ranges don’t overlap, and Black-billed is easily separated by much more extensive red on the head. The vocalizations include a low growling and an explosive series of two-syllabled “KOOP-pup” phrases.

Bright green bird with blue crown and face, distinct white eyering and long, pointed tail. Native to lowland dry forest and scrub in South America; introduced to urban areas in south Florida, California, and Honolulu, Hawaii.

Spotted Eagle-Owl
Bubo africanus
A large, gray-brown owl with bright yellow eyes, erect ear-tufts, and finely-barred belly and lower breast. The default large owl throughout its range; occurrs in a broad range of lightly-wooded habitats, including suburbia. The typical call is a soft, booming “whooo-whooo” or “whoo-are-you?”. The similar Cape Eagle-Owl is larger, prefers cliffs and gullies, has a heavily-blotched upper breast, and has burnt-orange eyes. Grayish Eagle-Owl is more heavily barred and has dark-brown eyes.
Cinnamon Screech-Owl
Megascops petersoni
Small screech-owl with a scattered distribution in the Andes. It inhabits cloud forest in southeastern Ecuador and northern Peru, as well as a few locations in Colombia and Venezuela. Most birds have bright cinnamon-buff plumage, but some are brown and tan. Distinguished from the similar Rufescent Screech-Owl by the lack of any white marks on the shoulders, and by voice. Song is a fast, rising and falling series of soft “pu” notes. The speed at which the notes are given is quite variable.
