White-eyed Foliage-gleaner
Automolus leucophthalmus
Distinctive medium-sized foliage-gleaner. Look for its white throat (puffed up when excited) and pale eyes, contrasting with a cinnamon body, which is paler than other foliage-gleaners. Found in humid forests and second growth, usually following mixed-species flocks. The song is series of loud and squeaky “ki-dee” notes.
识别特征
The white-eyed foliage-gleaner is 18 to 20 cm (7.1 to 7.9 in) long and weighs 25 to 38 g (0.88 to 1.3 oz). It is a fairly large member of its genus and has a heavy bill. The sexes have the same plumage. Adults of the nominate subspecies have a dark brownish face with faint reddish streaks on the ear coverts, grizzled reddish brown and buffy lores, and a white malar area. Their crown is dark reddish brown with narrow rufous streaks. Their back and rump are dark reddish brown that blends to bright rufous uppertail coverts. Their wings are dark rufous with pale cinnamon at the bend. Their tail is bright rufous. Their throat and the sides of their neck are white and their center breast white that becomes bright buffy on the belly. The sides of their breast and flanks are ochraceous tawny and their undertail coverts pale rufous. Their iris is whitish, their maxilla brownish to black, their mandible greenish gray to pale gray, and their legs and feet grayish. Juveniles have a more uniformly colored crown and back than adults, with a slightly darker breast and belly and darker brown sides and flanks. Subspecies A. l. sulphurascens has a paler back, rump, and tail than the nominate, with a less brownish belly and less reddish brown on the flanks.
分类信息
The white-eyed foliage-gleaner has two subspecies, the nominate A. l. leucophthalmus (Wied, 1821) and A. l. sulphurascens (Lichtenstein, MHC, 1823). What is now the Pernambuco foliage-gleaner (A. lammi) was a third subspecies; following a 2008 publication, major taxonomic systems elevated it to species rank.<p>The white-eyed foliage-gleaner, Pernambuco foliage-gleaner, olive-backed foliage-gleaner (A. infuscatus), and Para foliage-gleaner (A. paraensis) form a superspecies.

分布与栖息地
The nominate subspecies of the white-eyed foliage-gleaner has a limited range; it is found only in eastern Brazil's Bahia state. Subspecies A. l. sulphurascens is found in south-central and southeastern Brazil from Mato Grosso, Goiás, and Bahia south through Rio Grande do Sul and eastern Paraguay into northeastern Argentina's Misiones Province. The species inhabits tropical evergreen forest and mature secondary forest. In elevation it ranges from near sea level to about 1,000 m (3,300 ft), though it locally reaches 1,400 m (4,600 ft) and A. l. sulphurascens occurs mostly below 750 m (2,500 ft).

行为
The white-eyed foliage-gleaner is a year-round resident throughout its range.<p>The white-eyed foliage-gleaner feeds on a wide variety of arthropods both adult and larval, and snails are a minor part of its diet. It usually forages as part of a mixed-species feeding flock, and tends to mostly stay low in dense growth in the forest's understory. It gleans and pulls its prey from dead leaves, debris, and epiphytes. In some areas it feeds in stands of bamboo.<p>The white-eyed foliage-gleaner is assumed to breed in the austral spring and summer, at least September to December. It is thought to be monogamous. It makes a cup nest of plant stems and leaf rachides in a chamber at the end of a tunnel it excavates in an earthen bank. The clutch size is three or four eggs. The incubation period, time to fledging, and details of parental care are not known.<p>The white-eyed foliage-gleaner's song is a "fast, rhythmic, liquid or grating 'tlewtlew---' ". Its call is a "high, sharp, nasal 'itew' ". It also makes "single-noted 'kwek' and double-noted 'kwek-kwaah' calls".

Yellow-throated Mountain Greenbul
Arizelocichla chlorigula
A medium-sized greenbul with a blackish head, a yellow throat, gray underparts, and an olive-green back. Found in montane forest. Similar to Shelley’s Greenbul but slightly larger, and separated by the blackish cap, yellow throat, and gray underparts. Could also be confused with Stripe-cheeked Greenbul, but separated by the blackish head, yellow throat, and less distinct cheek striping. The song is a quick phrase of cheerful notes in an ascending pattern: “chirp-chup-chu-weeu.”

Cynanthus lawrencei
Small hummingbird endemic to the Marías archipelago, located about 60 miles off the Pacific coast of central Mexico. Male is glittering green with and iridescent throat and bright red bill.

Red-and-yellow Barbet
Trachyphonus erythrocephalus
A big, conspicuous, colorful barbet of dry country. Males have a black throat and crown; females have a pale throat and a crown that is speckled with black. There is some geographical variation; the belly can be yellow or white, and the breast orange or yellow. Found in areas of dry savanna with termite mounds, usually in pairs and small groups. Separated from D’Arnaud’s and Yellow-breasted Barbets by the red on the head. The song is a long series of the same rollicking musical phrase repeated over and over, often given as a duet.
