Ochre-breasted Tanager
Chlorothraupis stolzmanni
A plain, chunky bird with a “big mouth.” Found in foothill rainforest of western Ecuador and western Colombia. It’s mostly olive-brown with pale eyes and a stout bill. Forages at middle levels of the forest and may join mixed-species flocks. Sings incessantly early in the morning, giving loud whistles intermixed with scratchy twitters and squeaks. It can open its beak surprisingly wide while singing, giving the impression that it’s shouting.
识别特征
The ochre-breasted tanager grows to a length of about 18 cm (7 in). The sexes are similar in appearance, the upper parts being drab olive-green. Birds in Colombia show a slight grey shading on the head. The iris of the eye is pale bluish-grey. The underparts are ochraceous buff, with some olive shading on the flanks and breast, the throat being the palest region. It is similar in appearance to the lemon-spectacled tanager and the olive tanager but the three species do not share common ranges; the lemon-spectacled tanager is native to western Colombia and northwestern Ecuador, the ochre-breasted tanager occurs at higher elevations, and the olive tanager occurs further south in the eastern foothills of the Andes in southern Colombia, Peru and Bolivia, with a disjunct population in Central America.

分布与栖息地
This species is native to South America. Its range extends on the western slopes of the Andes from the Chocó Department of Colombia southwards to the El Oro Province of Ecuador. It usually occurs between 400 and 1,500 m (1,300 and 4,900 ft) and is locally common in moist forest. It normally occurs at higher altitudes than the closely related lemon-spectacled tanager (Chlorothraupis olivacea) and can be told from that species by its brown-tinged underparts and its lack of a yellow ring round the eye.

行为
The diet consists mostly of fruit, flowers and insects. It forms small groups of up to a dozen or so birds which move noisily through the understorey of the forest, chattering loudly as they go. Sometimes they form small mixed flocks with other species. One or more birds may sing in the early morning, each perched in a prominent position, emitting loud, raucous noises, often in concert with other members of the group.

Hartlaub's Babbler
Turdoides hartlaubii
Boldly marked babbler with a red eye and a white rump and belly. The white rump is very obvious in flight. Found in marsh, wet scrub, gallery forest, and thick woodland. Almost always in groups, which vary in size from several up to 15 individuals. Usually feeds by hopping along the ground. Raucous babbling call is frequently given, usually by a whole group in chorus. Similar in shape, size, and overall brown coloration to Arrow-marked and Black-faced Babblers, but easily separated by red eye, white rump and belly, and broad markings on the underparts.
Western Mountain Greenbul
Arizelocichla tephrolaema
A large, vocal greenbul of montane forest and forest edge, found only in the highlands of Bioko Island (Equatorial Guinea), Cameroon, and eastern Nigeria. Has an olive-green body, a more yellow-green belly, an ashy-gray head, dark reddish eyes surrounded by white partial eye-arcs, and a solid black bill. Calls include repetitive chatters, sometimes ending with “kekeKOWLP!”, and repeated “chup-chup-chupup” type notes.
Yellow-crowned Euphonia
Euphonia luteicapilla
Small finchlike bird, compact and short tailed. Generally yellow below and dark blue-black above with stout, short bill. To identify male euphonias, focus on crown and throat: Yellow-crowned has an entirely yellow crown and a dark throat. Females extremely difficult to separate from other euphonias but often seen in pairs or small groups with males. Frequents open forested habitats, edges, and gardens. Can form mixed feeding flocks with other species such as warblers and tanagers.
