Buff-winged Cinclodes

Cinclodes fuscus

Fairly common in southern South America, from bogs and streams in the Andes to beaches, lakeshores, and pastures; usually near water. Feeds on the ground with a hopping and shuffling gait, sometimes cocking tail; small flocks form in migration and winter. Often in same areas as other cinclodes, especially Gray-flanked Cinclodes in the Andes and Dark-bellied Cinclodes in lowlands. Buff-winged is distinguished by clay-brown plumage tones, plain breast (vs. obvious streaking on Dark-bellied and Gray-flanked), and broad buff wing stripe shown in its raised wing song display.

The buff-winged cinclodes is 15 to 19.4 cm (5.9 to 7.6 in) long and weighs 29 to 33 g (1.0 to 1.2 oz). It is a small cinclodes with a shortish bill. The sexes have the same plumage. Adults have a distinct light buffish white supercilium, dark gray-brown ear coverts with pale streaks, and a bright white malar area that flares to the rear. Their forehead is speckled, their crown dark gray-brown, and their upperparts dark brown. Their wing coverts are dark brown with wide buffish edges and their flight feathers dark fuscous with a narrow tawny-rufous band across them. Their tail's central feathers are dark brown and the rest blackish brown; the outer three pairs have progressively more pale tawny tips with the outermost of all having a tawny outer web. Their chin is white, their throat white with thin dark scallops, their breast dull pale brown with faint buff streaks, their belly whitish buff, their flanks dull brown, and their undertail coverts mottled brown and buff. Their iris is brown or dark brown, their bill dark brown to blackish whose mandible often has a paler base, and their legs and feet blackish to dark brownish. Juveniles are more richly colored than adults and have dark edges on most of their underparts' feathers.

分类信息

The buff-winged cinclodes was previously known as the bar-winged cinclodes and included the many subspecies of what are now the cream-winged cinclodes (C. albiventris) and chestnut-winged cinclodes (C. albidiventris). Following the recognition of the three-way split that began in about 2009, C. fuscus was renamed to the present buff-winged cinclodes to avoid confusion with the previous much more complex species.<p>The buff-winged cinclodes is monotypic.

分布与栖息地

The buff-winged cinclodes is found year-round in central and southern Chile and most of central and southern Argentina including Tierra del Fuego, and as a migrant to northern Argentina, southern Brazil, southeastern Paraguay, and Uruguay. It has also been recorded as a vagrant on the Falkland Islands. It inhabits a variety of open habitats, most of them grassy such as páramo, puna, and temperate grasslands. It also occurs in arid montane scrublands, on Patagonian steppes and beaches, and in open Patagonian woodlands. It usually is found near water, especially bogs and streams, and is commonly seen around human habitations. In elevation it occurs from sea level to 3,000 m (9,800 ft).

Jamaican Oriole

Jamaican Oriole

Icterus leucopteryx

A fruit-loving inhabitant of woodlands and gardens. Adult is yellow (often tinged green or orange), sports a black beard, and has very large white wing patches covering half of the otherwise black wing. Immatures look similar, but they have two broad white wingbars instead of a white patch. Immature male Orchard Oriole looks somewhat similar, but it is smaller and lacks the bold white wing markings seen on Jamaican Orioles. Songs include a rapid series of rich, whistled, and mostly down-slurred phrases and “cheat-you, cheat-you, cheat-you, cheat-you, cheat.”

Pink-bellied Imperial-Pigeon

Pink-bellied Imperial-Pigeon

Ducula poliocephala

A large pigeon of foothill and lower montane forest canopy with a white head, a dark bluish-gray chest and upper back, green wings, a whitish belly with a pink tinge, and rufous under the base of the tail. Note the large red eye-ring. Somewhat similar to Mindoro Imperial-Pigeon, but Pink-bellied has a dark neck and chest. Song is a deep, booming, upslurred “doo-dup! doo-dup!”which can be heard from a distance.

Cinnamon Screech-Owl

Cinnamon Screech-Owl

Megascops petersoni

Small screech-owl with a scattered distribution in the Andes. It inhabits cloud forest in southeastern Ecuador and northern Peru, as well as a few locations in Colombia and Venezuela. Most birds have bright cinnamon-buff plumage, but some are brown and tan. Distinguished from the similar Rufescent Screech-Owl by the lack of any white marks on the shoulders, and by voice. Song is a fast, rising and falling series of soft “pu” notes. The speed at which the notes are given is quite variable.
