Slaty Tanager

Large, rare tinamou found in cloud forest along the east slope of the Andes. It is uniformly sooty gray, much darker and plainer than Gray Tinamou. Rusty lower underparts are hard to see in the field. Like other forest tinamous, it is far more likely to be heard than seen. Vocalizations include a low, drawn out coo, like a dove’s but longer, and a series of low, modulated whistles.

A small flycatcher that is only found in bamboo patches in the lower levels of humid forests. Olive-green on the back, head and breast, with a distinctive yellow eyebrow wrapping around the eye, and a two-tone broad, flat bill. The belly is pale yellow and the wings are mostly dark but with two prominent cinnamon wingbars and cinnamon edges to the flight feathers. Rarely joins mixed-species flocks. The song is a very distinctive soft whistled “feeww-fuu,” repeated for long periods.

Medium-sized, elegant seabird of the deep Pacific Ocean, rare in Japanese waters. Grayish above, white below, with dark “M” pattern in upperparts. White forehead extensive; dark gray crown stands out against lighter gray back and often terminated by a sharp white “notch” of plumage. Underwing mostly white, with only small black marks at the “wrists,” unlike many other gadfly petrels, and tip of tail extensively black, unlike rather similar Cook’s and Masatierra Petrels.
