Ochre-bellied Dove
Leptotila ochraceiventris
Rare, colorful forest dove found in southwestern Ecuador and northwestern Peru. It is mostly reddish-violet with a darker purple back and wings and paler forehead and belly. If seen poorly, it might be mistaken for White-tipped Dove or Pallid Dove, but note the purple (not brown) back and the more rosy underparts. Inhabits dry, deciduous forest as well as humid forest, and may be only a seasonal visitor in some areas. Typically encountered walking quietly on the forest floor, but may ascend to a low perch to sing. Song is a soft, low-pitched, descending coo.

分布与栖息地
The ochre-bellied dove is found in the lowlands of western Ecuador and separately in the lowlands and Andes of southwestern Ecuador into northwestern Peru. It is a year round resident in some parts of its range but apparently makes seasonal movements in other parts. It inhabits a variety of landscapes including moist evergreen, semi-deciduous, and dry deciduous forests; lower montane forest; and humid cloudforest. In elevation it mostly ranges between 500 and 1,800 m (1,600 and 5,900 ft) but has been found as low as 80 m (260 ft) and as high as 2,625 m (8,612 ft).

行为
The ochre-bellied dove usually forages on the forest floor and up to 4 m (13 ft) above it. Its diet is not well known but it has been observed eating fruit plucked from trees. It is usually found alone or in pairs but also in groups of up to five with other doves at drinking pools.<p>The ochre-bellied dove's breeding phenology is almost unknown. Based on observations of song activity and birds in breeding condition, it appears to nest between January and April and again in August and September.<p>The ochre-bellied dove's song is "a quite distinctive single slightly downslurred note 'wOOOooo', with a clear emphasis in the beginning, then gradually fading out."

Slender-billed Finch
Xenospingus concolor
Long-tailed, often rather skulking “finch” (actually a tanager) of scrub, hedges, and riverside thickets in desert lowlands, where no very similar species are found. Adult blue-gray overall with slender, bright yellow bill, and yellow legs; tail often held cocked. Immature looks very different: streaky overall with white eyering and slender yellow bill (darker on youngest birds). Voice notably varied: chips, clucks, and chatters usually given from cover.
Cuban Pewee
Contopus caribaeus
An active small flycatcher of open woodlands and scrub. It is most similar to Eastern Wood-Pewee and migrant flycatchers of the genus Empidonax; best distinguished from these species by the bold white crescent behind the eye. Often flicks tail upwards once after landing. Its song is “Tswee-ooooooo,” with the first part explosive and the second a lazy descending whistle. On the Bahamas, the song often has two or three quick notes added afterwards. Call is a sharp “peep-peep-peep.”
Fernandina's Flicker
Colaptes fernandinae
A medium-sized bird of open habitats; often found singly or in pairs feeding on the ground. Its body and tail are largely barred mustard yellow and black. The Northern Flicker is very similar in size and shape, but it has a black crescent across its chest and a spotted belly, and in flight, an obvious white rump unlike Fernandina’s Flicker. Calls include a squeaky sputtering “chee-uh-uh-uh-uh…” and a rhythmic “ka-flick, ka-flick, ka-flick…”
