Buff-rumped Woodpecker
Meiglyptes grammithorax
Adorable small woodpecker with a large crested head, boldly marked black-and-white wings, and big dark eyes. Also note finely barred belly. Male has a faint red “moustache” stripe. Inhabits lowland and foothill forests and forest edge, where it often forages in pairs, poking along on the ends of thinner branches and between bark crevices. Sometimes visits ant nests in the forest canopy. Joins mixed flocks. Gives high chittering calls, as well as a rising “pwit!”

Reiser's Tyrannulet
Phyllomyias reiseri
Small, yellow-green flycatcher. Note the white lores and gray crown. An apparently rare and poorly-known inhabitant of gallery forests and tall savanna dry forests. May accompany mixed-species flocks. The song is a harsh series of notes: “briu-briu-briu-briu-briu-briu-briu.” Separated from the similar Greenish Tyrannulet, with which it commonly co-occurs, by smaller size, grayer crown, and yellow ear-coverts.

Gray-breasted Wood-Wren
Henicorhina leucophrys
Very small, stub-tailed wren of humid highland and foothill forest. Typically in areas with thick cover, from brush piles to dense flower banks, where notoriously difficult to see well. Common call is a hard scolding rattle. Varied, rich whistled songs have a rollicking cadence, distinct from songs of other wrens in the same habitat. Note the boldly striped face, gray breast, rich dark-brown upperparts, and short tail. White-breasted Wood-Wren occurs in lowlands.

Gray-backed Hawk
Pseudastur occidentalis
An endangered raptor found only in western Ecuador and immediately adjacent parts of Peru. It has white underparts, dark gray back and wings, and gray streaks on the head. Its tail is white with a thick black band near the tip that is especially evident in flight. Restricted to areas where extensive forest cover remains. Prefers dry and semi-humid areas; not normally present in the wetter forests of northwestern Ecuador, but may occasionally wander into them.
