Pincoya Storm-Petrel

Small, sharp-billed tanager of tropical lowlands. Males have a black back, bright yellow underparts, and a black mask. Females are brown above and dull yellow below. Both sexes have bright red eyes. Females similar to other female dacnis, but note red eyes and higher contrast between brown upperparts and lighter tan underparts. Found in young rainforest, forest edges, and similar open forested habitats, where it forages in the canopy singly or in pairs, often joining mixed-species flocks.

A large crow that varies in size across its range; note its relatively long, daggerlike bill with curved top. Entirely black with a variable amount of glossiness. A frequent scavenger, feeding on carrion, leftover food from humans, and food stolen from other birds. Often gangs up to attack and chase other birds, especially raptors. Occurs in a wide range of habitats including woodlands, urban landscapes, agricultural fields, and open scrub forests. Call varies, generally a harsh or croaking crow.

Rather dull buffy ground-dwelling bird with a large but disjunct range from Panama to Argentina. Streaky brown above and paler below with a streaked breast and plain belly. Note long pinkish legs and white outer tail feathers. Found in any flat open habitat including savannah, agricultural areas, and desert. Most often seen on the ground, occasionally perched up on a small shrub or fence. The only pipit in most of its range. Listen for the distinctive song, a few tick notes followed by a long descending buzzy “tzeeeeeeew,” often given in flight.
