Long-tailed Meadowlark

Leistes loyca

Handsome and eye-catching bird that is fairly common in grassland, steppe, matorral, farmland, and even town parks with grassy areas. Feeds mainly on the ground, at times in small groups, but male sings from prominent perches and in flight. Male has a bright red breast, long pointed bill, and white eyebrow. Female has much less red below, but note size and shape, and pale eyebrow. No similar species in its Chilean range, but in Argentina compare with Pampas Meadowlark.

European Pied Flycatcher

European Pied Flycatcher

Ficedula hypoleuca

Breeding male is boldly pied, with a big white wing patch and white forehead spot. Female and immature are brown above, with an obvious white wing patch. In areas of overlap, compare with very similar Collared and Semicollared Flycatchers. Breeds in shady, mixed and deciduous woodland, especially with oaks. Uses a range of habitats on migration and on wintering grounds, including forest edge, open woodland, and plantation. Feeds at all levels, sallying after insects in the leafy foliage; at times, perches out on open fences. Song is a cheerful whistled series with an up-and-down quality. Calls include a sharp, bright, somewhat metallic “wit!” and a short “tsee.”

Black-crowned Fulvetta

Black-crowned Fulvetta

Schoeniparus klossi

Adorable small fulvetta with large, liquid cartoon eyes. Plain brown overall. Dark crown patterned with jagged pale streaks, and pale face marked with a broad black stripe above the ear and a smaller “teardrop” below the eye. Inhabits foothill and montane forests. Social and often found in mixed flocks. Clambers around agily on trunks and branches while foraging. Song is a rapid but somewhat halting series of high-pitched chip notes. Calls include similar chips, as well as rattles and sharp disyllabic notes.

Rhinoceros Auklet

Rhinoceros Auklet

Cerorhinca monocerata

Gray seabird shaped like a football. Breeding plumage shows white belly and thin white eyebrow and mustache. Distinctive stout orange bill with pale vertical protrusion at base. Nonbreeding birds have a plainer face and lack "horn" on bill; juveniles have gray bill. Longer bill than other auklets with a flatter head. Breeds on offshore islands; otherwise found at sea, usually alone. Dives underwater for fish.
