Diamantina Tapaculo
Scytalopus diamantinensis
Gray tapaculo with a black-barred buff vent. Females are browner above. Has a very small range, where it inhabits forests with dense understory at high elevations. The simple song consists of a single “chik” note repeated for long periods.
识别特征
The Diamantina tapaculo is approximately 10 to 11 cm (3.9 to 4.3 in) long and weighs approximately 15 g (0.53 oz). The adult's plumage is identical to that of the Planalto tapaculo. The male's upperparts are mainly dark gray and the underparts paler gray. The flanks are buff with dark bars, which differentiate it from the similar but unbarred mouse-colored tapaculo. The female is browner.
分类信息
The Diamantina tapaculo was described as a new species in 2007. At that time it was thought to be closely related to the Planalto tapaculo (Scytalopus pachecoi), and the South American Classification Committee of the American Ornithological Society (AOS) and the Clements taxonomy have agreed. However, the International Ornithological Congress (IOC) has not accepted that placement.

In elevation it ranges from 850 to 1,600 m (2,790 to 5,250 ft).

No information has been published about the Diamantina tapaculo's diet or foraging phenology.<p>Virtually nothing is known about the Diamantina tapaculo's breeding behavior. One nest has been described; it was a bowl of grasses in a rock crevice. The two nestlings were fed by both adults.<p>The Diamantina tapaculo's song is a simple note, quickly repeated, often for more than a minute [1]. Its call is unique, described as "a single 'tcheep' note".

White-rumped Hawk
Parabuteo leucorrhous
Small raptor of montane forest in the Andes from Venezuela to Argentina, with a disjunct population in southeastern South America. Adults are black with a piercing yellow eye. In flight, look for the paddle shaped wings and contrasting white underwing coverts. The tail has contrasting black and white bands. Juveniles are buffy below with messy dark markings; note the white eyebrow and overall compact shape. Singles or pairs are uncommon over forest or adjacent clearings. Typically seen soaring or occasionally perched in the canopy.
Tanimbar Flycatcher
Ficedula riedeli
An unmistakable, little-known, strikingly patterned small flycatcher confined to the Tanimbar Islands. Male is jet black above with a striking white eyebrow, wing patch, and sides to uppertail. Below, shows a tangerine chest and a white belly. Female is undescribed. Found in understory of forest in both lowland areas and in the foothills. Song is a complex high-pitched warble lasting a few seconds, and rising and falling regularly. Calls include a very high “sweee” and a soft, grating “grrr-it.”
Andean Condor
Vultur gryphus
Huge, wide-ranging vulture of the Andes, but also ranges into lowlands in southern Chile and Tierra del Fuego. Locally fairly common in Chile and adjacent Argentina, less numerous northward. Mainly seen as singles or pairs, sailing high over ridges, but tens can gather at roosts and to scavenge at carcasses. Size alone is diagnostic, but can be difficult to judge at a distance: note very long “fingers” at wingtips and white collar of adult. Adult also has diagnostic big white panels on upperwing, visible as birds bank. Immatures dark overall, becoming like adult in about 5 years.
