分布与栖息地
The rufous-backed antvireo is found in southeastern Brazil's coastal mountains, primarily between Rio de Janeiro and Paraná states. Since 2013 there have been scattered records from further south in Santa Catarina. The species inhabits the mid-storey to the subcanopy of montane evergreen forest and mature secondary forest. In elevation it ranges between 750 and 1,700 m (2,500 and 5,600 ft).

行为
The rufous-backed antvireo is thought to be a year-round resident throughout its range.<p>The rufous-backed antvireo feeds mostly on insects and its diet also includes other arthropods and the berries of Rapanea mistletoe. It usually forages singly or in pairs, and frequently as part of a mixed-species feeding flock. It typically feeds between about 3 and 12 m (10 and 40 ft) above the ground, especially in the outer parts of trees, in the tops of bamboo, and in woody vine tangles. It feeds mostly with short sallies to snatch prey from overhanging leaves. It also gleans by reaching or lunging while perched. It has not been observed following army ants.<p>The rufous-backed antwren's breeding season appears to span from September to February. Its only known nest was an open cup of plant fibers thickly covered with moss placed in a branch fork 1.8 m (6 ft) above the ground. It held two eggs. The incubation period, time to fledging, and details of parental care are not known.<p>The rufous-backed antwren's song is a "very high, rapid series of a descending, shivering, whistled rattle". It calls include "a short, low-pitched muffled note...sounding like 'quock' " and "a short, harsh bark".

Common Raven
Corvus corax
Large, glossy-black bird with a wedge-shaped tail. Larger than a crow with a longer, thicker bill. Distinctive shape in flight, with rather long, swept-back wings and long tail. Note smoother, steadier wingbeats compared with faster, choppier wingbeats of crows. Extensive range throughout the Northern Hemisphere. Found in a wide variety of habitats, including desert, coniferous forest, coastlines, sagebrush, tundra, and grasslands. Often solitary or in pairs, but can gather in small groups. Typical call is a loud, guttural croak, but makes an astonishing variety of other strange noises. Compare with Chihuahuan Raven in the southwestern U.S. and Mexico, and with various large, all-dark crows and ravens in Europe and Asia.
Principe White-eye
Zosterops ficedulinus
A small, active, mostly dull olive-green and gray warbler-like bird with a white eye-ring that is obvious with a good view. An uncommon resident in the forest canopy of interior Príncipe, where small groups join mixed-species flocks. A dry, reedy chittering contact call is often the first sign of their presence. Principe White-eye may join the same flocks as Principe Speirops, which is slightly larger and has a much whiter head.
Banded Lapwing
Vanellus tricolor
Elegant lapwing with a white stripe through eye (like a sunglass strap), a red wattle in front of the eye, and a thick and complete black breast-band. Smaller and shorter-legged than Masked Lapwing. Not generally an urban bird, it is more common inland. In more coastal areas it tends to be limited to areas with very short grass (e.g., airports, turf farms).
