Sulphur-bearded Reedhaunter
Limnoctites sulphuriferus
Distinctive spinetail with a yellow chin and dark brown patches on otherwise cinnamon wings. Has a well-marked white eyebrow and white underparts streaked gray. Occurs in marshes with tall emergent reedy vegetation. The song starts with a trill, followed by a series of harsh notes: “d-d-d-r-r-i-i-, dirip, dirip, dirip, drip-drip-dreeuw-dreeuw.”
识别特征
The sulphur-bearded reedhaunter is 15 to 16 cm (5.9 to 6.3 in) long and weighs 12 to 14 g (0.42 to 0.49 oz). The sexes have the same plumage. Adults have a buffish white supercilium on an otherwise grayish-streaked whitish face. Their crown, back, rump, and uppertail coverts are olive-brown. Their tail feathers are sharply pointed; the central pair are brownish and longer than the others, which are more rufous. Their greater and median wing coverts are rufous, the primary coverts and secondaries dark fuscous, and the primaries rufous with rich tawny bases. Their chin and center of their throat are yellow, their breast whitish with thin grayish streaks, their belly whitish, and their flanks and undertail coverts tawny-buff. Their iris is whitish red to orange-pink, their maxilla blackish brown to black, their mandible pinkish white to whitish, and their legs and feet greenish gray to pale olive-green. Juveniles have darker upperparts and more ochraceous underparts than adults, with no yellow on the chin and no streaks on the breast.
分类信息
The sulphur-bearded reedhaunter was long placed in genus Cranioleuca, and for a time by itself in genus Limnornis, but a study published in 2011 placed it in genus Limnoctites. There it joined its sister species the straight-billed reedhaunter (L. rectirostris). The South American Classification Committee of the American Ornithological Society, the International Ornithological Committee, and the Clements taxonomy adopted the new genus starting in about 2019. However, as of November 2023 BirdLife International's Handbook of the Birds of the World retains it as Cranioleuca sulphurifera with the English name sulphur-throated spinetail.<p>The sulphur-bearded reedhaunter is monotypic.

分布与栖息地
The sulphur-bearded reedhaunter is found from far southern Brazil's Rio Grande do Sul south through Uruguay into eastern Argentina as far south as northern Río Negro Province, but passing south of far northeastern Misiones Province. It inhabits freshwater marshes with tall grasses or reeds and adjacent scrublands. In elevation it ranges from near sea level to 300 m (1,000 ft).

行为
The sulphur-bearded reedhaunter is a year-round resident throughout its range.<p>The sulphur-bearded reedhaunter's diet is not known but is probably mostly arthropods. It forages mostly singly or in pairs. Nothing else is known about the species' prey or feeding behavior.<p>The sulphur-bearded reedhaunter breeds during the austral spring and summer. It is thought to be monogamous. Its nest is an oval ball of reed fragments and other plant fibers lined with grasses and feathers. It is attached to reed stems, usually not far above water but sometimes above mud or drier ground. The clutch size ranges from two to four and is usually three. The incubation period, time to fledging, and details of parental care are not known.<p>The sulphur-bearded reedhaunter's song is "a slightly rising trill c. 2·5–3·5 seconds long, followed by rapid series of harsh notes that fade towards end, 'd-d-d-r-r-i-i-, dirip, dirip, dirip, drip-drip-dreeuw-dreeuw', sometimes followed by upslurred trill". Members of a pair often sing in duet.

Javan Black-capped Babbler
Pellorneum capistratum
Chunky, thickset brown babbler with a dark crown, an orange breast, and a bright white throat. Also note long eyebrow, orangish-brown on the front and white on the back. Endemic to Java, where it inhabits lowland and foothill forests. Scurries about on the forest floor like a rodent, rummaging through leaf litter, either singly or in pairs. Gives a high-pitched “jiwee”, sometimes with a raspy, descending third note. Also gives loud, harsh, nasal rasping calls.
Asian Emerald Cuckoo
Chrysococcyx maculatus
Stunning jewel of a bird, found in dense forests. Males have vivid, electric green upperparts and black-and-white striped underparts. Females similar but have light orange crown and thinly striped face. Slow in its movements, usually found high up in the canopy gleaning insects from foliage. Parasitizes the nests of spiderhunters and sunbirds. Gives a explosive “chew’wit’it!” in flight, as well as high-pitched descending rattles.
Purple Sandpiper
Calidris maritima
Plump, rock-loving shorebird with slightly droopy bill. Most often seen in nonbreeding plumage, which is fairly dark gray with spotted underparts. Namesake purple sheen (mostly on back, scapulars, and tertials) only visible at close distance in good light. Legs and base of bill usually bright orange. Messy-looking breeding plumage is darker and more heavily marked, with limited rusty tones on upperparts. Largely inaccessible breeding range on high Arctic tundra; most often seen in northern Europe, Spitsbergen, and Iceland. Winters at slightly lower latitudes, regularly south to the mid-Atlantic region in North America and the Iberian Peninsula in Europe; found in flocks on rocky coastlines and jetties pounded by heavy surf.
