Stripe-faced Wood-Quail
Odontophorus balliviani
Chunky, dark brown quail of cloud forest and elfin forest. Dark brown body is spotted white below; black bandit mask and reddish crown are distinctive. May be found singly, in pairs, or in small groups. Quite secretive, and often goes undetected until flushed suddenly from nearly underfoot. Forages on the ground, climbing over mossy tree roots and scraping aside leaves with its feet to look for small prey. Listen for its low caroling song given at dusk, an often duetted “dwee-put, dwee-put….”

分布与栖息地
The stripe-faced wood quail is found on the east slope of the Andes in southeastern Peru's Cuzco and Puno Provinces and western Bolivia's La Paz and Cochabamba Departments. It inhabits subtropical montane forest that has many tree ferns, bamboos, and epiphytes. The forest varieties include primary and young secondary forest and stunted cloudforest; it is also found in clearings, wet meadows, and gulleys. In elevation it typically ranges from 1,000 to 3,300 m (3,300 to 10,800 ft) but is occasionally found as low as 800 m (2,600 ft) in Peru.

Himalayan Cuckoo
Cuculus saturatus
Visually indistinguishable from Oriental Cuckoo. Adult male is gray above with a black-and-white-barred belly and a dark gray tail; females usually look similar, but some (known as hepatic morph birds) have cinnamon-brown upperparts with black barring throughout. Intermediate in size between Common and Lesser Cuckoos; distinguished from both species by buffy (not white) under-tail feathers and from Lesser Cuckoos by yellow iris. Song is a series of five notes, with the leading note being sharper and more distinct than the four that follow; compare with Oriental Cuckoo’s series of mellow paired notes. Breeds in a wide range of different lowland and hill forests; also more open habitats outside of breeding season.
Andean Gull
Chroicocephalus serranus
Handsome hooded gull of the Andes; also ranges to coastal areas in nonbreeding season. Found at lakes, wetlands, and bogs; ranging to plowed fields and farmland, and beaches and river mouths on the coast. Larger and stockier than other hooded gulls, with diagnostic wingtip pattern: broad white band in black wingtip; all ages have relatively small dark bill and dark legs. Breeding adult has blackish hood with white eyering. Immature and nonbreeding plumages have weak dark spot on cheeks.
Satin Bowerbird
Ptilonorhynchus violaceus
Large plump bowerbird with short bill. Adult males are entirely dark glossy blue-purple color with a pale bill and bright violet eye.

It is often encountered in pairs or small groups. Males are well-known for building a large bower decorated with small blue objects.
