Blue-browed Tanager
Tangara cyanotis
Scarce tanager found in cloud forest along the east slope of the Andes. Plumage is black and turquoise with a conspicuous blue eyebrow and a peach-colored belly. It might be confused with Metallic-green Tanager, but black on face is much more extensive and connects with black back. Forages at middle to upper forest levels and frequently joins mixed-species flocks.
分类信息
The blue-browed tanager was first described as Calliste cyanotis by Philip Sclater in 1858, on the basis of a specimen sent by M. Verreaux. The generic name Tangara is from the Tupí word tangara, meaning dancer. The specific name cyanotis is from the Ancient Greek words κυανος (kuanos), meaning dark blue, and ωτις (otis), meaning eared. Blue-browed tanager is the official common name designated by the International Ornithologists' Union (IOC).<p>The blue-browed tanager is one of 27 species in the genus Tangara. Within the genus, it is placed in a species group with the golden-naped tanager and the metallic-green tanager. While DNA evidence suggests that the golden-naped tanager is not closely related to the other two species in the genus, it is likely that the blue-browed and metallic-green tanagers are sister to each other.<p>There are two recognized species of the blue-browed tanager. They are differentiated by differences in plumage.

Swift Parrot
Lathamus discolor
Colorful migratory parrot with long red pointed tail. Breeds in Tasmania and migrates to southeastern Australia in autumn and winter. Found in a wide variety of forests, where its presence is largely dictated by flowering eucalypts on which it feeds. Adult bright green with red and yellow on face and a subtle blue-purple crown patch. In flight, shows bright red underwings and long red tail. Compare Scaly-breasted Lorikeet, which has shorter green-yellow tail. Calls include a sharp rattling as well as short, piercing squeaks.
Black Partridge
Melanoperdix niger
Infrequently-encountered small gamebird. Male is uniquely glossy-black all over, while the female is predominantly chestnut-brown with a pale lower belly. Both sexes have an odd, heavy bill somewhat reminiscent of a finch or parrot. Inhabits lowland and foothill forest, often favoring wetter areas. Forages on the ground, singly or in pairs. Generally quiet.
Yellow Tyrannulet
Capsiempis flaveola
Small flycatcher, bright yellow overall with two yellow wingbars, a dark line through the eye, and a short yellow eyebrow. Rather long tail. Sexes alike. Brighter yellow than most other tyrannulets. Found in shrubby second growth with some trees, sometimes associated with stands of tall bamboo. Usually in pairs. Widespread through much of South America. Listen for its spritely chattery song.
