Fiery-billed Aracari
Pteroglossus frantzii
Aracaris are medium-sized toucans, rather slender and long tailed. Fiery-billed is distinctive: the top half of the bill is bright orange. Also note the red belly band. Most often found in small flocks; favors any sort of forested area including edges and gardens.
识别特征
The fiery-billed aracari is about 45 cm (18 in) long and weighs 225 to 280 g (7.9 to 9.9 oz). Like other toucans, the fiery-billed aracari is brightly marked and has a large bill. The adult's bill has a vertical ivory line at its base. Its mandible is black. Its maxilla is mostly red, with a black culmen, yellow tip, and greenish base. Adults have a black head, neck, and throat with a chestnut collar on the nape. Bare red skin surrounds the eye. Their back is blue-green and their rump is red. Their underparts are bright yellow with a red band across the belly and a black spot in the center of the breast. Their thighs are chestnut. Females differ from males only in having a darker chestnut collar and a shorter bill. Immatures have duller plumage overall; its pattern and that of their bill are indistinct.
分类信息
Major taxonomic systems have long treated the fiery-billed aracari as a species that is closely related to the collared aracari (P. torquatus). At least one 20th century author treated it as a subspecies of the collared aracari.<p>The fiery-billed aracari is monotypic.<p>The species' specific epithet commemorates the German naturalist Alexander von Frantzius.

分布与栖息地
The fiery-billed aracari is found from the Gulf of Nicoya on Costa Rica's Pacific coast south into Panama's western Chiriquí Province. It formerly occurred as far east as Veraguas Province. It inhabits the interior and edges of wet primary and secondary forest. In elevation it mostly ranges from sea level to 1,200 m (3,900 ft) but is occasionally found as high as 1,800 m (5,900 ft).

Yellow-tufted Honeyeater
Lichenostomus melanops
A small to medium-sized honeyeater with a bright yellow chin and crown and bold black cheeks. Note the namesake small yellow tufts behind the ear. Gregarious and usually seen in groups; often aggressive towards other birds. Typically found in woodland areas around the southeast parts of Australia.
Black-winged Parrot
Hapalopsittaca melanotis
Scarce parrot of Andean cloud forest. There are two isolated populations, one in central Peru and the other in central Bolivia. Plumage is green with mostly black wings, blue wingtips, a faint blue collar, and a grayish or buffy ear patch (which is very indistinct on some birds). Usually seen flying rapidly over the forest canopy, then quickly disappearing into the trees, where it becomes very hard to spot.
Locustfinch
Paludipasser locustella
Unusual small, dark waxbill. Males are black with an orange hood, and females dark gray above and pale below with heavy barring. Both sexes show a mostly orange wing and rump, which are conspicuous in flight. Uncommon in moist grassland. Inconspicuous, and usually not seen until flushed, when they give a repeated “teeu” call. Similar in shape and behavior to Quailfinch, but easily separated by the orange wing.
