Boyaca Antpitta

Grallaria alticola

Medium-sized antpitta found in elfin forest and páramo near or above treeline in the Andes in north-central Colombia. Typical antpitta shape: plump with short tail and long legs. Dull brownish plumage, darker olive above and richer buffy below. Sexes similar. Fairly common and much more conspicuous than most other antpittas; frequently seen bounding around in the open, though typically close to shrubby cover. Sometimes sings from a fairly prominent perch; listen for series of four to six clipped, piping whistles: usually two higher, longer notes followed by a slightly quicker series of shorter rising notes.

Sahul Cicadabird

Edolisoma tenuirostre

Woodland bird of eastern and northern Australia and New Guinea. Strong sexual dimorphism in plumage. Male dark slaty-gray, with black around bill, and black on wings. Female brown, with dark line through eye, extensive fine barring on chest and belly, and fairly plain brown wings (much browner and lacking the white wingbars of Varied Triller). Shows geographical variation, especially in female plumage. Found in the canopy of a wide variety of forest, woodland, scrub, and savanna habitats. Calls include a long (10-second) sequence of insect-like repeated buzzes (hence its name), also a slower version, and a robin-like sequence of clear whistled notes.
