Chestnut-shouldered Goshawk

Attractive and distinctively patterned large parakeet, very local in Chile, more common in Argentina. Favors open and semiopen habitats in drier regions with banks or low bluffs nearby, where it nests colonially in burrows. Usually in small groups and often located by its nasal laughing and crowing calls. Feeds on ground and in bushes, at times perching on roadside wires. No similar species in range, but note whitish eyering and bright yellow belly with red median patch. Also introduced to Hawaii where it is uncommon and local (but may be increasing) along the western side of Hawaii Island; favors the coast, where it roosts and nests on rocky sea cliffs.

Small and rather scarce flycatcher found in disturbed forest on the east slope of the Andes. Yellowish-olive with a gray head and pale throat. Combination of stubby, reddish bill, pale iris, and yellow edges to wing feathers that do not form distinct wingbars help separate it from other small flycatchers. Overlaps with the very similar Mishana Tyrannulet in northern Peru, but Red-billed has a gray (not olive) crown and a different voice. Calls include soft whistles and squeaks, given alone or in a quick series. Typically seen perched high in a tree in a clearing or at forest edge.

A large, slender warbler with a disproportionately long bill, short wings, and a long tail. Face and eyebrow yellowish-buff with a dark eye-stripe and a pale throat. Upper body and wings mostly dark with pale edges to feathers, giving a messy mottled appearance. Some birds are much paler, often almost entirely white with some mottling. An entirely dark sooty morph occurs. Found in riverine and hillside forest with stands of bamboo up to 600 meters of elevation. Song is a long, slow sequence of warbled phrases and “churr” notes. Calls include harsh churring and “tchak” notes.
