Streak-throated Canastero
Asthenes humilis
Small, plump brown bird with a fairly long tail sometimes held cocked. Has lighter brown underparts, a faint white eyebrow, and black streaking on the face and throat. Found in rocky grasslands with short grass at high elevations, where it forages on the ground between patches of grass. Compared to the similar Cordilleran Canastero, Streak-throated has more prominent streaking in the face and throat and a brown tail (reddish brown in Cordilleran). Its song is a soft, short trill, and it also gives bursts of “pit” notes.
识别特征
The streak-throated canastero is 15 to 16 cm (5.9 to 6.3 in) long and weighs 23 to 24 g (0.81 to 0.85 oz). The sexes have the same plumage. Adults of the nominate subspecies have a dull whitish buff supercilium, dark brownish lores, and a vague brownish streak behind the eye on an otherwise dark brown and grayish buff streaked face. Their crown is dull dark brown with faint darker streaks and small blackish dots on the forehead. Their back, rump, and uppertail coverts are dull dark brown with faint darker streaks on the back that become longer and wider towards the rump. Their wings are mostly dull dark brownish with some rufous on the coverts and rufescent edges on some secondaries. Their tail is dark brown with tawny-buff edges on the feather's outer webs. Their chin is orange-rufous, their throat and breast pale brown, their belly a paler brown, and their flanks and undertail coverts a warmer brownish buff. Their throat has thin blackish streaks that disappear on the upper breast. Their iris is brown, their maxilla black to dark horn, their mandible blackish to gray with a black tip, and their legs and feet grayish olive to brownish gray. Juveniles have little or no orange and less distinct streaks on the throat and some rufous on the tail.<p>Subspecies A. h. cajamarcae has grayer upperparts than the nominate, with more distinct streaks, and has paler and less buffy underparts. A. h. robusta has a darker back with less distinct streaks than the nominate. A subpopulation in the Peruvian Andes has a clay-pinkish wash to the undersides and might represent another subspecies or species.

行为
The streak-throated canastero is mostly a year-round resident throughout its range but has been noted moving downslope in the southern Andes to avoid snowstorms.<p>The streak-throated canastero feeds on arthropods and seeds. It forages singly or in pairs, gleaning prey from the ground and bunches of grass.<p>The streak-throated canastero is assumed to breed in the austral spring and summer. It is thought to be monogamous. It makes a ball-shaped nest of grass with a side entrance and a lining of feathers, hair, and soft plant material. It typically places it on the ground in a clump of bunch grass. Nothing else is known about the species' breeding biology.<p>The streak-throated canastero's vocalizations are not well known. What is thought to be its song is "a quavering, soft trill 2–5 seconds in duration". It also makes a "doubled or tripled trill that lasts c. 1 second". Its contact call is "a burst of 'pit' notes, usually repeated 2–3 times".

Tibetan Partridge
Perdix hodgsoniae
An ornate small terrestrial bird of Tibetan highlands, usually dry hillsides and valleys with sparse shrub cover. Often seen hurrying along with a bobbing gait when surprised on a roadside or in pastures. Browish overall, with black-and-white face pattern and bright orange neck. Can be quite tame, especially in protected areas around monasteries, where often fed.
Wing-barred Seedeater
Sporophila americana
Small seed-eating bird with a thick black bill. Male strikingly black-and-white, with much variation in extent of black breastband and white wingbars. Averages darker at western end of range (Ecuador and Peru), paler along coast of northeastern South America. Separated from other black-and-white seedeaters by dark bill, white throat and collar imparting cowled appearance. No known range overlap with similar Variable Seedeater. Females nondescript brown and very difficult to distinguish from other seedeaters, sometimes best left unidentified. Look for thick black bill with curved culmen. Found in disturbed habitats including pastures, river edges, and scrubby weedy areas. Usually in pairs or small flocks, sometimes mixed with other seedeater species.
Samoan Flycatcher
Myiagra albiventris
A small flycatcher. Male is deep glossy blue-black on the back, head, and tail. Throat and chest are deep rusty red, belly clean white.
