Saffron Finch ( Sicalis flaveola )

There are three other very similar species from the same genus in Brazil. The females and imature individuals are nearly impossible to tell apart, as they are light brown with some darker streaks. The Saffron Finch can be distinguished from the other species for the saffron color, mostly in the breeding season. The Orange-fronted Yellow Finch ( S. columbiana) is smaller than the Saffron Finch, the Stripe-tailed Yellow Finch (S. citrina) has greenish patches on the upper parts and the Grassland Yellow Finch (S. luteola) has brownish spots even in the head. One of the countrysideâs most famous birds, the Saffron Finchâs song is unique for its beaty and complexity. Unfortunately its song...

Burrowing Owl ( Athene (Speotyto) cunicularia )

25 cm. The supercilium is white. The plumage usually shows traces of earth. The male is slightly larger than the female and the belly is lighter. Distribution: From Canada to Tierra del Fuego. Habitat: Open fields, grasslands and suburbs, sometimes in soccer fields. Diet: Feeds mainly on beetles, but also other arthropods. Also consumes small vertebrates.

Barred Antshrike ( Thamnophilus doliatus )

16cm. Identification: The male is practically unmistakably recognized for the fully barred body and a black crest in the head. The female is ferruginous and has a crest and is barred in the head. It is currently the only antshrike which lives in really urban and disturbed areas. It is worth reminding that this bird has only recently conquered the urban environment. In the early 80s the first records of this antshrike in large cities were so unexpected that they yielded notes in scientific papers. Like other antshrikes it lives in couples, leaping and flying from branch to branch, usually through the short treesâ canopy in search for the small arthropods it feeds on. In the breeding se...

White-rumped Monjita

18cm. Identification: may be confused with two other species from the same genus, the White Monjita ( Xolmis irupero ), which is almost totally white, apart from the black wings and tail, and the Grey Monjita ( Xolmis cinerea ), which has the head and upper parts in darker grey. Thus the White-rumped Monjita presents a kind of intermediate color pattern between these two species. Typical of open fields, this bird spends most of its time perched on isolated trees, light posts and fences. It feeds mainly on flying insects it catches in short flights, returning to the perch afterwards and also takes small berries. Very little is known about its behavior. It is certainly migratory, b...
