Serendib Scops-Owl

Striking hummingbird that inhabits Andean cloud forest from southern Peru to Bolivia. Both sexes have an orange collar that extends almost all the way around the back of the neck as well as white outer tail feathers and a long, straight bill. Male’s head is black with a sapphire forehead spot. Female might be confused with female Violet-throated Starfrontlet if seen poorly, but note the orange collar and white (not buff) tail markings. Visits feeders in some areas. Formerly treated as a subspecies group of Collared Inca.

A brightly-colored, long-tailed parrot of forest and clearings from the foothills to the mid-mountains. Males have a red head and underparts, blue rump and back of the neck, dark wings and a pale green shoulder bar. Females in the east have green head and upperparts with a red belly. In the west they more resemble the male. Similar to Moluccan King-Parrot but where the ranges meet, but Papuan King-Parrot has a pale green shoulder bar. Call, a series of clear, high, piping notes given at slightly different pitches.

Medium-sized woodpecker of rainforest. Note compact shape and uniform brown coloration with a pale bill. Often with mixed-species flocks, occurring from the mid-story to the canopy. Also occurs in lower-stature forests with sandy soils. Climbs trunks and large branches in typical woodpecker fashion; explores bark crevices and arboreal termite nests. Usually first detected by its distinctive nasal call. Superficially similar to Chestnut Woodpecker but is less richly colored and much smaller.
