Bolivian Warbling Finch

A fairly large gray owl with small ear tufts. The eyes are dark brown. Found in a variety of woodland and savanna habitats, often around cliffs and other rocky areas. Frequently in pairs. Very similar to Spotted Eagle-Owl, but there is little range overlap, and Grayish is easily separated by its dark eyes. The call is a single short “hoooo.”

Mid-sized, big-billed, colorful kingfisher. Adults have an all-red bill and a pale gray head. Found in mangroves, coastal forest, woodland, and scrub. Loud call is an introductory note followed by a “bouncing ball” series of wooden trills. Woodland Kingfisher is similar, but Mangrove is separated by its grayer head and all-red bill. Immatures of the two species are very similar, but Mangrove usually shows a red bill with a black tip, as opposed to a mostly black bill in Woodland.

Chunky finch with a huge pale bill. Male’s vivid black-and-yellow coloration is distinctive, but note the dark rump (yellow in the similar Collared Grosbeak). Female is pale gray with a tan wash to the underparts; her Collared counterpart is much more brightly colored. Forages in pairs or small flocks in hill and montane forest; often found in coniferous groves.
