Plain-winged Woodcreeper
Dendrocincla turdina
Medium-sized woodcreeper with a short bill. Found in the lower to middle levels of humid forests where it moves restlessly. Rather uniform rufous-brown overall with a brighter tail and a buff throat. Often associated with army-ant swarms and sometimes follows mixed-species flocks, but can also be encountered alone. The northern subspecies lacks the buff throat and has more rufous in the wings and tail.The song is a long (~60 seconds) series of “tchip-tchip-tchip” notes.
识别特征
The plain-winged woodcreeper is 19 to 21 cm (7.5 to 8.3 in) long and weighs 23 to 45 g (0.81 to 1.6 oz). The species is a medium-sized member of its genus, with a short straight bill. The sexes have the same plumage but females are significantly smaller than males. The nominate subspecies is mostly olive-brown. Its crown has faint buff streaks, its throat is pale buff, and its flight feathers, uppertail coverts, and most tail feathers are slightly rufescent. Its wing linings are ochraceous buff. Its iris is brown, its bill gray to blackish with often a paler mandible, and its legs and feet brown to gray. Subspecies D. t. taunayi has more prominent streaks on its crown but is otherwise like the nominate.
分类信息
The plain-winged woodcreeper's taxonomy is unsettled. The International Ornithological Committee (IOC) and the Clements taxonomy assign it two subspecies, the nominate D. t. turdina (Lichtenstein, MHC, 1820) and D. t. taunayi (Pinto, 1939). BirdLife International's Handbook of the Birds of the World (HBW) treats it as monotypic and treats subspecies taunayi as a subspecies of the plain-brown woodcreeper (D. fuliginosa). Previously both subspecies were widely considered subspecies of the plain-brown woodcreeper.<p>This article follows the two-subspecies model.

分布与栖息地
The nominate subspecies of the plain-winged woodcreeper is found from Brazil's Bahia state south into northern Rio Grande do Sul and slightly into eastern Paraguay and northeastern Argentina's Misiones Province. Subspecies D. t. taunayi has a very limited range in northeastern Brazil's Alagoas and Pernambuco states. (Note that the map does not include this subspecies' range.) The species primarily inhabits humid lowland primary and mature secondary forest. It also occurs in foothill cloudforest and, in the cerrado, gallery forest. It favors the forest interior but also occurs at its edges. In elevation it reaches 1,250 m (4,100 ft) but is mostly found lower.

行为
The plain-winged woodcreeper is a year-round resident in most of its range. There are few records in Rio Grande do Sul and Argentina during the austral winter, which suggests that the southernmost subpopulation is migratory.<p>The plain-winged woodcreeper often follows swarms of army ants such as Eciton burchelli and Labidus praedator to capture prey disturbed by the ants. It often does so as part of a mixed-species feeding flock. Away from army ants, it also joins flocks led by the cinereous antshrike (Thamnomanes caesius). When attending ants it typically perches on a nearly vertical trunk up to about 3 m (10 ft) above the ground and sallies to pick prey from the ground, other trunks, foliage, and in mid-air. In a study in Paraguay and Argentina it often followed black capuchin monkeys (Sapajus nigritus) and other studies have seen it following coatis. Its diet is mostly arthropods but it has also been observed feeding bats and frogs to nestlings.<p>The plain-winged woodcreeper's nesting season is not well defined but appears to include at least September to January. It nests on a bed of wood chips in a tree cavity. The clutch size is two eggs. The female alone incubates the eggs and cares for the nestlings. The incubation period is not known; fledging occurs about 27 days after hatch.<p>The song of the plain-winged woodcreeper's nominate subspecies is a "series...of very high 'keepkeepkeep---' notes, slightly undulating, fading, and crescendoing at random" that may last a minute or more. Subspecies D. t. taunayi's song is "an extended series at much slower tempo, beginning quietly with harsh 'weck' notes, soon increasing in volume and with notes changing to 'wheep', before eventually trailing off". The species' calls include a " 'cha-a-a-a' rattle, 'chahh' hiss, and 'stauf' ".

Green Oriole
Oriolus flavocinctus
Medium-sized songbird with a long red bill and red eye. Olive-green above, with greenish breast blending into yellow belly. Juvenile and immature also yellowish on the belly, unlike Olive-backed Oriole or Australasian Figbird. Forages in forested areas, gardens, and parks in northern Australia, usually singly or in pairs, singing frequently, a rich, throaty “yok-yok-yoddle.”
Black-and-white Tody-Flycatcher
Poecilotriccus capitalis
Small and handsomely patterned flycatcher of lowland and foothill rainforest. Male has black upperparts, white underparts, yellow edge to the shoulders, and pale spot in front of eye. Female has olive back and wings, chestnut head, gray face and throat, and yellowish belly. Both sexes have a pale, yellow stripe along the inner part of the folded wing. Inhabits dense tangles in the forest understory, often in areas with bamboo. Gives sharp, metallic chips and a variety of excited trills.
White-spotted Flufftail
Sarothrura pulchra
Small rail of forest understory. Shy and elusive bird that is unlikely to be seen by those not expressly looking for it. Both sexes show a red hood and tail. The rest of the body is black with white spots in the male, and brown with buff barring in the female. Found in the wet understory of thick forest and adjacent scrub and gardens. Call is a series of several hollow hoots, often given repeatedly. Most other flufftails are not found in forest. Separated from Buff-spotted Flufftail by the white spots of the male and the red hood of the female.
