Sumatran Cochoa

Sumatran Cochoa

Cochoa beccarii

Bulky and sluggish inhabitant of Sumatra’s highland forests. Resembles a cross between a large thrush and a small crow; both sexes are glossy black with an electric-blue tail, wing panel, and crown. Males have a dark face, whereas females have a buffy one. Dull naked red skin around the eye can be evident at close range. Like other cochoas, its inactive habits can make this species difficult to see as it perches up in dense vegetation. Song is a haunting mournful whistle.

Semipalmated Plover

Semipalmated Plover

Charadrius semipalmatus

Small, orange-legged plover with solid dark breast band. Medium-brown upperparts are the color of wet sand, noticeably darker than Piping or Snowy Plovers. Look for short, blunt bill with orange base (often indistinct on juveniles). Feeds on mudflats and beaches, often mixed with other shorebirds. Even when in a flock, individuals are typically spread out rather than remaining a tight unit. Breeds on the tundra or rocky beaches at northern latitudes; winters to southern South America. Migrants are common and widespread, inland and coastal. Listen for distinctive two parted “chu-weep!” calls, and assorted chortles and chuckles.

Stripe-crowned Spinetail

Stripe-crowned Spinetail

Cranioleuca pyrrhophia

Distinctive spinetail with a striped black, a buff crown, and a conspicuous white eyebrow. Has a long tail with very pointed tips. Found in a variety of wooded areas, including gallery forests, second growth, and montane scrub. Forages acrobatically, searching for food by gleaning at all levels; often accompanies mixed-species flocks.
