Variegated Flycatcher
Empidonomus varius
Medium-sized flycatcher commonly found in the canopy and border of forests, woodlands, savannas, and urban areas where it usually perches on exposed branches. Note the complicated head pattern with a black mask and crown, and a broad white eyebrow and mustache. The black crown also has a central yellow patch, which is often concealed. The body is streaky with a cinnamon rump and tail. Similar to Piratic flycatcher, but Variegated Flycatcher is larger and paler, with cinnamon on the tail and rump and with more boldly-marked wings. The call is nasal “pseeeu.”

Quebracho Crested-Tinamou
Eudromia formosa
A striking tinamou of the northern chaco desert and scrub. Very similar to Elegant Crested-Tinamou, but range does not overlap. Prefers dense scrub and understory, but can also be seen in openings and roadsides. Voice distinctive, and quite different from Elegant Crested-Tinamou: two whistles that are each flat in pitch, then rising sharply in pitch at the end - “Tooooo-wee! Tooo-wee!”
American Dipper
Cinclus mexicanus
Unmistakable plump passerine. Slaty-gray overall with a browner head. Juveniles are slightly paler below than adults. Forages for invertebrates by walking underwater. Inhabits fast-moving rocky streams in western North America, from Alaska to Panama. Often nests under bridges. Unique shape, behavior, and strict habitat preferences make American Dipper unlikely to be confused with any other species.
Blue Mockingbird
Melanotis caerulescens
Not closely related to Northern Mockingbird. Skulking and heard far more often than seen, this fairly large and ample-tailed songbird might be better named "denim catbird" for its overall dull blue plumage, mewing calls, and retiring behavior. Favors thickets, dense scrubby woodlands, and forest understory in foothills and highlands; locally to western lowlands in winter. Tosses leaves on the ground and also feeds at all levels in dense fruiting bushes and trees. Most often seen in short flights across roads or trails from cover to cover. Voice notably varied.
