White-sided Hillstar
Oreotrochilus leucopleurus
Small hummingbird of the Andes from southern Bolivia through Argentina into central Chile; found in rocky and shrubby valleys, villages, and any open or semiopen areas with flowers. Often builds nest under eaves of buildings or bridges: a bulky cup of plant material and wool to insulate against cold nights. Fairly common. Readily identified in most of range by extensively white tail. Male has an emerald green gorget and a broad blue-black stripe on belly. Female is rather drab, but note slightly decurved bill, spotted throat, and tail pattern.
Orinocan Saltator
Saltator orenocensis
A beautiful and colorful grosbeak-like bird with slate gray upperparts, black mask and bill, immaculate white eyebrow and throat, and rich salmon-buff underparts. Sexes similar. Fairly common, in pairs or small groups foraging for fruits and flowers, as well as insects. Mostly in dry regions with bushes and scattered trees, gallery forest edges and savanna. Loud and melodic song with three variants, often given in duet. Found only in Colombia and Venezuela.
Black-throated Brilliant
Heliodoxa schreibersii
Large hummingbird with a stout bill. Male has a black belly and a black throat that is bordered below by violet; throat may appear all dark from some angles. Female has golden-green underparts, a violet throat patch, and conspicuous buffy mustache stripe. Inhabits humid lowland and foothill forest east of the Andes; sometimes visits feeders. Song is quite unusual: a descending, rattling trill that can last over five seconds.
