Black-faced Laughingthrush

Large, dumpy, almost tailless terrestrial inhabitant of the Atlantic Forest, where it walks quietly through forests with an open understory. This tinamou has a gray-brown barred back and vent, pale gray on the belly with a prominent pale stripe on the side of the neck. Very secretive, best identified by song, a series of “frru” whistles with long silences between them.

Medium-sized hummingbird of middle and high elevations. Green above, white below, with a pinkish lower mandible. Found around forest edges and scrubby open habitats. Distinguished with care from the very similar Green-and-white Hummingbird by the white extending lower onto the underside of the tail, and by its sometimes lighter pink lower mandible; it is also typically found in more open habitats than that species.

An active yellow warbler-like tanager with a gray cap and olive green back. Sexes similar. Found in large groups, pairs, and mixed species flocks, carefully examining foliage and branches while foraging at all levels of forest, most often at low levels with bamboo. Common in wet forest at high elevations in Andes. Like other hemispingus species, very vocal while foraging and moving. No other tanager or warbler is yellow with a distinct gray cap. Endemic to the Andes of Venezuela.
