Red-winged Gray Warbler
Drymocichla incana
A plain pale gray warbler, slightly darker above, with distinctive brick-red wing panels and, if seen well, pale gray-green eyes and pinkish legs. Juvenile is washed brownish on the underparts. Pairs and small groups occur in woodland, especially favoring riverine forest and margins of swamps. Gives a loud cheerful duet “chi-weer, chi-weer, chi-weer” and other strident notes that often draw attention to it. Other co-occurring warblers are warmer brown or streaked.

行为
The Red-winged Grey Warbler bird mainly eats insects especially, beetles, spiders, and tiny insect larvae. It catches its prey while flying through the vegetation or hovering mid-air. This method of hunting helps it find and target its prey accurately. Though small, the creature needs this diet to survive and maintain its ecosystem's balance.<p>Male and female Red-winged Grey Warblers engage in breeding during the rainy season, spanning from spring (around May) to fall (October). To signify their partnership, they often sing in unison. Following hatching, the fledgling Red-winged Grey Warblers display a distinct appearance, with a reddish wing patch, reddish belly, and a yellowish base on their bill.<p>Male birds are known for their loud and lively singing. They typically produce sounds that resemble "chwee" or "chwit weer-weer-weer," sometimes repeating a note to extend their melody. Female birds are recognized for their repeating "tchwee" sound. When male and female birds are paired, they occasionally harmonize in unison, usually initiated by the female bird.

A large, rare, ground bird from scattered areas of foothill and lower montane limestone forest. All black plumage with long legs, strong bill, long tail and some bare facial behind the eye. Juvenile has a brown belly. Very secretive and keeps to dense cover. The only large, black, terrestrial bird. More often heard than seen. Voice, a loud, repetitive “choo-oowit!”.
Mexican Chickadee
Poecile sclateri
The only chickadee in its range: primarily occurs in northern and central Mexico, barely entering the U.S. in the Chiricahua and Animas Mountains. Darker gray body than other chickadees, with black cap, white cheeks, and extensive black throat. Lacks any warm buffy tones. Restricted to mountainous pine forests, often in mixed flocks with other small songbirds. Listen for rather complex gurgling song and harsh call notes.
