Ortalis columbiana (Colombian Chacalaca / Guacharaca)
Endemic to Colombia, as its name would suggest, and the only chachalaca within its now relatively limited range in the central (Cauca and Magdalena) valleys of the country. It is found in both humid and deciduous forests, but the speciesā range and population are both almost certainly declining, and it survives only in pockets.

Chaetocercus mulsant
(White-bellied woodstar / Rumbito buchiblanco)
The "bee hummingbird" is found in Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru. In elevation it is most common between 2,200 and 2,800 m (7,200 and 9,200 ft).
The white-bellied woodstar is about 8.5 cm (3.3 in) long. The male's gorget is iridescent reddish violet. The female is bronzy green above and the flanks tawny. The central feathers are green and the others cinnamon.

Stilpnia heinei
(Black-capped Tanager / Tangara capirotada)
Juvenile males show a kaleidoscope of colours: Yellow-green as the females and blue tones as adult males.
Black-capped Tanagers are vividly-colored tropical birds that occur in Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador and Peru. They often occur in pairs foraging in bushes and trees for insects and fruit.
It is one of the few species in the genus that shows obvious sexual dichromatism, with males primarily gray-blue in color with a distinctive black cap, and females yellow-green without a black cap.

A Savannah Hawk calling, about to take off after spotting me in the grass. Photographed in YolombĆ³, Colombia.
The Yellow-faced Grassquit breeds from central Mexico to northern Ecuador and northwestern Venezuela. It was formerly alled with the American sparrows; actually, however, it is one of the tholospizan "finches" which are specialized tanagers (Thraupidae). As such, it is closely related to the famous Darwin's finches. It is a small bird, 10-10.7 cm long. (Wikipedia)

Untamed Birds of Colombia Expeditions
Colombia is the only South American country where this woodpecker can be found, and we had several chances to see and photograph them at a some of the sites on our Birds of Colombia Expedition.
Starting in Valle de Cauca around the city of Cali, we visit multiple sites specifically chosen for the birds that can be found and the photographic opportunities the sites provide. We then travel north, making stops at select sites, eventually spending several days around the incredibly diverse area of Manizales, Caldas.
While this trip only explores a small part of the worlds most bird diverse country, it is chock a block with with special species including Colombian endemics and other rare species!
Any questions about our Untamed Birds of Colombia Expedition?
We have a scouting trip planned later this year to explore yet more of Colombia and find more top bird photography sites.
So stay tuned!
