Chiriqui Quail-Dove
Zentrygon chiriquensis
Plump ground-dwelling dove, quite bright rufous overall compared with other quail-doves. Entire body is warm rufous, similar to Ruddy Quail-Dove, but note gray crown and black mustache line. Pinkish-red legs. Sexes alike. Prefers forests, usually on the ground unless flushed up into the lower levels of a tree. Like most quail-doves, often best seen by quietly walking along trails at dawn and dusk.
识别特征
The male Chiriqui quail-dove is 27 to 31 cm (11 to 12 in) long and the female 26 to 32 cm (10 to 13 in). Adults weigh between 295 and 308 g (10.4 and 10.9 oz). The adult male has a slate gray crown that is paler on the forehead and darker on the nape. The rest of the face is buffy with a black malar stripe and a thin black line through the eye. The eye is brownish orange surrounded by bare red skin. The upperparts transition from chestnut on the shoulders through purplish on the upper back to olivaceous with a greenish gloss on the lower back. The chin is buffy white that darkens to reddish on the chest and sides and then lightens to cinnamon buff on the belly; the flanks are a darker cinnamon. Females are very similar, but their breast is usually darker. Juveniles have a brown crown and upperparts and the underparts have dull black bars.

分布与栖息地
The Chiriqui quail-dove is resident from the Cordillera de Guanacaste in northern Costa Rica to Chiriquí and Veraguas Provinces in western Panama. It inhabits the understory of drier parts of the Talamancan montane forests. On the Caribbean side it generally ranges from 600 to 1,700 m (2,000 to 5,600 ft) but can be found locally as high as 2,000 m (6,600 ft). On the Pacific side it usually ranges between 1,000 and 2,500 m (3,300 and 8,200 ft) and occasionally up to 3,100 m (10,200 ft).

Fernandina's Flicker
Colaptes fernandinae
A medium-sized bird of open habitats; often found singly or in pairs feeding on the ground. Its body and tail are largely barred mustard yellow and black. The Northern Flicker is very similar in size and shape, but it has a black crescent across its chest and a spotted belly, and in flight, an obvious white rump unlike Fernandina’s Flicker. Calls include a squeaky sputtering “chee-uh-uh-uh-uh…” and a rhythmic “ka-flick, ka-flick, ka-flick…”
Spot-breasted Oriole
Icterus pectoralis
Attractive orange-and-black oriole of the Pacific coastal lowlands; local in interior and Caribbean lowlands of northern Central America. Found in tropical woodlands, edges, and semiopen areas with hedges and scattered tall trees. Associates readily with other orioles, such as Streak-backed and Altamira. As with most tropical orioles, sexes look alike: note the rather heavy, slightly decurved bill, black spotting on sides of breast, and mostly black wings with a white wedge on the tertials. Immature has greenish back, little or no spotting on breast, and wing pattern like adult.
Black-crowned Monjita
Neoxolmis coronatus
Large flycatcher of open grasslands. Usually easily detected, as it perched on top of fences, wires, bushes, and exposed branches of small trees, and sometimes forages on the ground. Note the blackish wings and top of the head, and the dark lines between the eyes and the ear-coverts, which distinguish it from the other species of the genus in the region.
