Black-throated Jay

Brown-and-white terrestrial babbler that scuttles around in the leaf litter like a rodent. Note lightly speckled black crown, white face and underparts, and rusty-orange stain on the forehead. Favors wetter forests, ranging from lowlands up into submontane areas. Gives short haunting whistles, either singly or in series.

Handsome tanager with a small range in the Andes of western Bolivia and southeastern Peru. It is pale with blue wings and tail, black mask, and buffy crown and vent. Similar to Burnished-buff Tanager, but has a duller, less rusty crown and is found at higher elevations. Inhabits lightly wooded areas and edge, avoiding areas of dense forest.

A large, long-tailed, thrushlike bird of dense forests. Note its black necklace, streaked white cheek patch, and pale band near the tip of the tail. Very similar to Lesser Necklaced Laughingthrush; note dark eye and ‘contained’ (completely encircled) cheek patch. Shy and difficult to see well. Usually found in small flocks in wet lowland and hill forest, often near streams. Song is a series of loud whistles, not as long or varied as that of Hwamei. Native to East and Southeast Asia; introduced to the Hawaiian island of Kauai.
