Pacific Hornero

Pacific Hornero - Furnarius cinnamomeus
Copyright: monacoeye • Pichincha, Ecuador • February 2011

Bird name: Pacific Hornero
Latin: Furnarius cinnamomeus
Other: Pale-legged Hornero (Furnarius leucopus)
Family: Furnariidae • Horneros, Ovenbirds, Spinetails
Range: Ecuador, NW Peru

The Pacific Hornero was the first bird I photographed in Ecuador, from the taxi, near Nanegal in Pichincha. The taxi driver told me they were common and had entered the area with the roads a couple of decades ago. But this turned out to be the only individual I got a good view of during my stay.

The Pacific Hornero has recently been split from the Pale-Legged Hornero, which is found further east in South America. The Pacific Hornero is an attractive bird, with a pale yellow iris. Conspicuous and vocal.

Ruddy Treerunner

Ruddy Treerunner - Margarornis rubiginosus
Copyright: monacoeye • Chiriqui, Panama, May 2010 • Do not copy without permission

Bird name: Ruddy Treerunner
Latin: Margarornis rubiginosus
Other:
Family: Furnariidae • Ovenbirds
Range: Costa Rica and western Panama highlands

A very cute-looking young Ruddy Treerunner, above, which was following its parent around, hopping from tree trunk to tree trunk in the dark montane rainforest in the Volcan Baru National Park in Chiriqui, above Guadalupe, in Panama. It wasn’t quite as speedy as its parent though, allowing me to focus for once!

The adult is rufous with white supercilium. In the large ovenbird family, which includes woodcreepers and spinetails.

Not very common, and in Panama only found in the western highlands.

Brown Billed Scythebill

Brown Billed Scythebill - Campylorhamphus pusillus

Bird name: Brown Billed Scythebill
Latin: Campylorhamphus pusillus
Other:
Family: Furnariidae • Scythebills
Range: Costa Rica, Panama, Colombia, Ecuador, N Peru, Venezuela, Guyana

Scythebills are like woodcreepers with very long curved bills. This Brown Billed Scythebill was in a dark, leafy part of the forest near El Valle de Anton, so we had real difficulty seeing him and even more difficulty photographing him, but he is known for being rather rare and elusive so we were pleased to have made the sighting. Great looking bird.More photos...

Bird name: Red Faced Spinetail
Latin: Cranioleuca erythrops
Other:
Family: Furnariidae • Spinetails
Range: Costa Rica, Panama, Colombia, W Ecuador

In Panama, the Red-faced Spinetail is only found in the western and eastern highlands. This individual was seen in the mountains in Volcan Baru National Park, in Chiriqui, western Panama. Identifiable by rufous head, wings and tail with greyish shoulders, throat and underparts. He wasn’t shy and seemed genuinely curious and territorial. He must have been nest-building near the path we were walking on, near the forest border.More photos...

Bird name: Rufous Hornero
Latin: Furnarius torridus
Other: Red Ovenbird • João-de-barro (Br) • Hornero (Es), Alonsito
Family: Furnariidae • Horneros, Ovenbirds, Spinetails
Range: E, SC, SE South America, incl Brazil
Similar:

The Rufous Hornero was one of the most common birds in the area I visited near Lagoa do Peixe. The Rufous Hornero lives in southeastern South America, including the southern states of Brazil. It is the national bird of Argentina, where it is widespread.

The Rufous Hornero is named after the ovenlike mud nests it builds. Its Brazilian name means John-of-Mud, the Spanish name means Ovenbird.

Rufous Horneros change nest every year, either building a new nest or repairing an old one. Old nests are also often used by Saffron Finches.More photos...

The Firewood Gatherer lives in Argentina, Paraguay, Uruguay and southeastern Brazil. It has its own genus, but is in the same family as spinetails and the Rufous Hornero.

It is distinguished by black malar spotting (line running diagonally from bill below eye) and white throat and supercilium. Seen here near marshland and abandoned old wooden shacks. Pecking for insects in top of posts.

Yellow Chinned Spinetail

Bird name: Yellow Chinned Spinetail
Latin: Certhiaxis cinnamomeus
Other: Curutié (Br), João-do-brejo • Curutié rojizo (Es)
Family: Furnariidae • Spinetails

The Yellow-chinned Spinetail lives throughout most of Brazil and much of South America from Trinidad to Argentina.

This spinetail is distinguished, as its name suggests, by its yellow chin. It has reddish-brown irises, black bill, white supercilium, it is greyish behind eyes, with a dark line through eyes, white chest and belly, dark legs and is all-rufous on its back and upperside of wings and top of head.

These Yellow-chinned Spinetails were seen around the marshes in southern Brazil. The individual below is building a stick nest in marsh reeds. Eventually it will be spherical, with a vertical tubular entrance. The bird was not too shy, flying to bring back sticks.
