Moustached Wren
Pheugopedius genibarbis
Fairly large wren with a long tail. Note the black-and-white streaks on the face contrasting with the brown crown, cinnamon upperparts, and buff belly. The wings and tail have dark bars. Found in the thick vine-tangled understory of humid forest and forest edges, where it usually noisy, but difficult to see. The song, usually delivered as a duet, is melodic and far carrying; the call is a harsh “tje-tje.”
识别特征
The moustached wren is 15.5 cm (6.1 in) long and weighs 16.2 to 22.8 g (0.57 to 0.80 oz). The nominate adult has an olivaceous gray-brown crown and nape, bright chestnut back and rump, and a dull brown tail with narrow blackish bars. It has a white supercilium and eyering, a black stripe through the eye, gray-black cheeks streaked with white, a white moustachial stripe, and a black malar stripe. Its throat and upper chest are white, its lower chest buffy, and its flanks and belly deeper brown. Compared to the adult, the juvenile's crown is browner, its back duller and less deeply chestnut, and it has less well defined facial markings and more diffuse bars on the tail.<p>P. g. juruanus is larger than the nominate and its underparts are paler. P. g. intercedens' crown is less sooty and its underparts are duller than the nominate's. P. g. bolivianus is similar to intercedens but its underparts are a deeper ochre compared to the nominate's buff and it has more gray on the face.

分布与栖息地
The moustached wren is found throughout the central and southern Amazon Basin. The subspecies are distributed thus:<p>It inhabits forest edge, including along rivers, and favors dense stands of Bambusa bamboo. In elevation it ranges as high as 1,500 m (4,900 ft) in Bolivia but generally only from sea level to middle elevations.

- Resident species
行为
The moustached wren forages low in vegetation and often in pairs. Though its diet has not been documented, it is probably mostly or entirely invertebrates.<p>Four nests of the moustached wren found in Peru's Manu National Park were domed or ball-like with a side entrance. They were all found with four eggs, in September and October. One adult incubated the eggs; it was assumed to be the female. Nothing else is known about the species' breeding phenology.<p>Both sexes of moustached wren sing "a series of fast rollicking phrases" [1]. Their call is "a whining 'jeeyr'" [2].

Sunda Cuckooshrike
Coracina larvata
Chunky, dark gray bird with a dark face. Dark face patch is more extensive on males than females; males on Sumatra have entirely black heads. Inhabits moist foothill and montane forest. Moves through the upper levels of forest, often with other species in mixed flocks. Gives various high squeaky calls, including an inflected “weee-tee!”.
Red-and-green Macaw
Ara chloropterus
Enormous parrot with a long pointed tail, a red head and body with mostly blue wings and green wing coverts. It has a white face with distinct red stripes. Only possible confusion species is Scarlet Macaw, which has yellow (not green) wing coverts and lacks red stripes on the face. Found in lowland rainforests from eastern Panama to Paraguay. Usually found in pairs, flying over the forest and perching in the canopy. Can gather in small groups, especially at fruiting trees or clay licks. Nests in cavities. Listen for raucous calls, typical of large macaws.
Forest Honeyeater
Meliphaga montana
A rare, medium-sized honeyeater of foothill forest in northern New Guinea. Fairly uniform, brown plumage with a white ear spot and light mottling below. Forages singly for insects and doesn’t really visit flowering trees. The only other similar species with a white ear spot is Scrub honeyeater which is found more in scrub than forest and is green with an orange gape. Call, an upslurred “weep” is diagnostic.
