Streak-backed Oriole
Icterus pustulatus
Usually the commonest orange-and-black oriole of tropical lowlands and foothills along the Pacific coast of Mexico and Central America; also occurs in dry interior valleys. Very rare in the southwestern U.S. Found in tropical woodland and edges, plantations, towns, gardens, and semiopen areas with hedges and scattered trees. Slightly larger and bulkier than slenderer and longer-tailed Hooded Oriole, with straighter bill, more extensive white edgings to the wing feathers, and variable dark streaking on the back (faint in northern birds, heavy in southern birds, and sometimes almost solidly black). Both sexes have black throat patch, lacking on female Hooded. Some immature Streak-backed can be quite dull yellowish but usually still show faint streaks on the back; compare with Bullock's Oriole.

Rosy Bee-eater
Merops malimbicus
A nomadic and locally migratory bee-eater of rainforests, savannas, rivers, and glades, where it can be seen flying high overhead or perched high in trees. Distinctive, with long triangular wings, rosy pink underparts, a black eye-line, a clean white moustache, and evenly gray upperparts. Voice is similar to those of other bee-eaters, including hoarse “tik” and “trrp” calls. Nests in sandy riverbanks and sandbars, where colonies can comprise over 20,000 pairs.
Black-and-gold Cotinga
Lipaugus ater
A large cotinga found in the subcanopy of montane forests from 1,200–2,050 m. Males are spectacular—all black with a yellow patch on the wings. Females are uniformly olive-green. Both sexes have a short orange bill and small red eyes. The song is a long, sharp, and high-pitched whistle with multiples males calling alternatively to give a continuous song phrase.
Santa Marta Sabrewing
Campylopterus phainopeplus
Rare hummingbird endemic to Colombia’s Santa Marta Mountains. Male is green with a blue throat, and female is green above and mostly white below. Both sexes have a white spot behind the eye and lack copper in the tail. Male could be confused with male Lazuline Sabrewing or Black-throated Mango, whose coppery tails are not always evident. Female is similar to female White-vented Plumeleteer, but has a more conspicuous eye spot and less white on the tail tip. Poorly known and rarely seen in the areas typically visited by birders.
