Burmese Shrike

Small, retiring quail of forest understory. Rarely seen, but can be located by listening for noisy rustling in the leaf litter as birds scratch like chickens. Prefers to run away rather than flush. Loud song often reveals its presence, given mainly early and late in the day: first few notes similar to Little Tinamou song, but then breaks into rollicking choruses that can be almost deafening if close by. Male has rusty face and gray body, female colors reversed, with gray face and rusty body.

Tiny parrot with green body, short pointed tail, and pale bill. Males have blue wings and cerulean rump; females are all green. Highly gregarious. Found in light woodlands, forest edges, second growth, open habitats, and urban parks, but typically avoids dense forests. Limited range in northern Colombia.

A small bird, olive-green above and yellow below, with a bold white eye-ring and a yellow bill. Yellow in front of eye and on throat gives a yellow-faced appearance. Found in tall wet native forest above about 400 meters of elevation, but occasionally down to 200 meters. Voice consists mostly of high-pitched chirping.
