Green-tailed Bristlebill

Small, yellowish-olive flycatcher that ranges mainly in northern and eastern South America as well eastern Panama. Distinguishing features include its yellow throat and breast, orange face, thick wingbars, and wide bill. Similar to Olive-faced Flycatcher, which used to be considered the same species and called Yellow-breasted Flycatcher. Note their different ranges, which mostly do not overlap. Ochre-lored Flycatcher has a brighter face with a hint of orange, more distinct wingbars, and has a different voice. Its most common call is a piercing whistle given alone or in a slow series. Occasionally also gives well-spaced rasping calls. Inhabits secondary forest and light woodland, usually avoiding the interior of mature forest.

Small, colorful flycatcher found in lowland and foothill rainforest. Ranges primarily in eastern Ecuador, but also reaches adjacent areas of southern Colombia and northern Peru. Black, white, gold, and chestnut plumage pattern is unique in range. Told from Common Tody-Flycatcher by yellow back and golden wing stripe. In southern Peru it is replaced by the similar Black-backed Tody-Flycatcher. Typically found in pairs that hide in tangles at forest edge or in overgrown clearings. Call is a short, dry trill, often given repeatedly by both members of the pair.

A large eagle with rich brown plumage, wide wings, and seven well-splayed “fingers” at the wingtip. Adults are entirely dark brown; juveniles and immatures at rest show a distinctive wide white band bordered with black on the wing. In flight, this transforms into a white traverse band on the underwing that forms the base of the primary and secondary feathers. Birds take about four years to attain adult plumage. Frequents open grasslands, deserts, scrub, wetlands, and mountains, and is a regular carcass feeder along with vultures.
