Klages's Antwren
Myrmotherula klagesi
Tiny, compact antwren with a short tail. Males are gray and heavily streaked black. Females are similar but have an ochraceous tinge. Found in the canopy of seasonally flooded forests and on forested river islands. The song is a repetition of double notes: “teWic.” The male of Amazonian Streaked Antwren is rather similar but has a semi-concealed white back patch.

分布与栖息地
Klages's antwren is found in central Amazonian Brazil. It occurs only along the lower Rio Branco, Rio Negro, and Rio Madeira to their confluences with the Amazon and along the Amazon itself from somewhat upstream of the Rio Negro east to the mouth of the Rio Tapajós. It inhabits the subcanopy and canopy of lowland várzea and igapó evergreen forest, almost entirely below an elevation of 100 m (300 ft). It stays near the rivers including on islands.

行为
Klages's antwren is believed to be a year-round resident throughout its range.<p>Klages's antwren feeds on arthropods, especially insects and spiders. It typically forages singly or in pairs and regularly joins mixed-species feeding flocks. It mostly feeds in dense foliage as high as (or beyond) 20 m (65 ft) above the ground, though it will descend to within about 3 m (10 ft) of the ground at the edges of watercourses and clearings. It actively seeks prey among leaves and vine tangles and along branches, gleaning by reaching, lunging, and with brief sallies from a perch.<p>Nothing is known about the breeding biology of Klages's antwren.<p>The song of Klages's antwren is a "short series of double notes 'teWic --'...(5-7 x)". Its call is a "high, dry 'tzik-tzik tzik -' ".

Fine-spotted Woodpecker
Campethera punctuligera
A mid-sized, green-backed woodpecker. Males have a red crown and moustache; females have a white-streaked black forecrown, a red hindcrown, and a white-spotted black moustache. Varies geographically; in most of the range, the underparts are plain buff with some fine speckling, but in the eastern part of the range, the underparts are white with bold spotting. Found in savanna habitats, including broadleaf Guinea savanna and dry thorn savanna. Usually in pairs, which give a series of “kreek” notes in a loud duet. Very similar to Nubian Woodpecker in the narrow zone where their ranges meet, but Fine-spotted is distinguished by having a less streaked face and less heavily marked underparts. Similar overall to Golden-tailed Woodpecker, but has spotted rather than streaked underparts.
Orange-crowned Oriole
Icterus auricapillus
Beautiful black-and-orange oriole found from Panama to northern Colombia and Venezuela. Look for unmarked black wings with orange shoulder patch, black face and breast, all-black tail, and yellow-orange body (brightest on head). Found in woodlands and edges, where singles or pairs typically stay in the canopy.
Brazilian Merganser
Mergus octosetaceus
Unmistakable in range. Odd-looking duck with a long thin bill, dark green head, and spiky crest. In flight, exhibits white wing panels. It is a very rare inhabitant of precious few fast-flowing clearwater rivers with abundant fish, which it catches by diving.
