Cajamarca Antpitta
Grallaria cajamarcae
Small antpitta with a restricted range in the western Andes of northwestern Peru. Note the chestnut brown plumage and pale belly; like other antpittas, it has long legs and a short tail. Inhabits the understory of high elevation forest, and can persist even in small patches as long as native vegetation remains. Mostly terrestrial, but sometimes comes up a bit higher, especially when singing. Gives a series of five to eight clear whistles and a long trill that rises abruptly near the end. Formerly considered to be a subspecies of what used to be called Rufous Antpitta.
分类信息
The Cajamarca antpitta was described as a subspecies by Chapman in 1927, but a 2020 study found that its vocal characteristics, distinct plumage and mitochondrial genetic differences warrant its elevation to species. <p>The Cajamarca antpitta is named after Cajamarca, the department that contains the majority of the species' range. Its specific name, cajamarcae, is also named for the region.

分布与栖息地
The Cajamarca antpitta is endemic to the north-western Peruvian Andes, and west of the Marañón River. It is only found in three departments: Cajamarca, Piura and Lambayeque. It is found at elevations of 2850–3400 m. It inhabits humid montane forests and forest edges; it prefers the understory and forest floor. It is most commonly seen near the city of Cajamarca, the capital of the Cajamarca region and can also be found in the Pagaibamba Protection Forest. <p>The Marañón and Huancabamba rivers separate the Cajamarca antpitta from the closely related Equatorial antpitta.

Collared Treepie
Dendrocitta frontalis
Like many other treepies, this is a noisy, social bird, often seen in flocks moving through the canopy and through openings in the forest. Extensively black face, silver hood, and lack of a wing patch distinguish this species from other treepies in its range. Inhabits forests from the lowlands up to montane areas. Loud, with a varied repertoire of whistles, clinks, and squawks.
Black-streaked Scimitar-Babbler
Erythrogenys gravivox
A large, dark scimitar-babbler. Brown upperparts and white underparts separated by an orangish stripe running along either side of the bird from the face down to the vent. Lightly backswept mustache and a jagged band across the breast are made of the eponymous black streaks. Found in forest, edge, weedy fields, and gardens. Like many other scimitar-babblers, has a frequently-used and advanced repertoire of hoots, cackles, and rattles.
Tongan Megapode
Megapodius pritchardii
A plump, mostly ground-dwelling bird with long yellowish legs and a dark gray body with slightly browner wash on the wings and back. Head mostly dark gray, with bright orange beak and whitish crest. Good views may show blood-red bare skin around the eye and throat. Found in mature woodland with open understory. Nests on crater lake islands. Resident, with no record of vagrancy. Very vocal, most frequently heard in groups giving chorus of loud piping whistles and shrill cries. Calls are usually a staccato one-note whistle. Unmistakable, as it is the only scrubfowl in its range.
