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 species’ range and population are both almost certainly declining, and it survives only in pockets.

Tangara labradorides labradorides
(Metallic-green tanager / Tangara verdinegra)
Metallic-green Tanagers inhabit humid montane forests in the Andes in Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru. They are mostly blue-green in color, although strongly they appear to be blue or green can change, depending upon light conditions.
Their diet consists almost entirely of arthropods and fruits. Metallic-green Tanagers are usually found in pairs or small groups and often join flocks consisting of multiple tanager species.
There are two recognized subspecies of the Metallic-green Tanager (Storer 1970):
-labradorides Boissinneau 1840; type locality Santa-Fé de Bogota [Colombia]
Occurs in western and central Colombia and in western Ecuador (Storer 1970, Hilty and Brown 1986, Ridgely and Greenfield 2001).
-chaupensis Chapman 1925; type locality Chaupe, Cajamarca, Peru
Occurs in southeastern Ecuador and in northern Peru (Storer 1970, Ridgely and Greenfield 2001, Schulenberg et al. 2007).

En este tiempo que yo esté lejos, no me olvides. No dejes que yo me muera en tu corazón y para tu vida. Cuando estés triste, cuando te sientas infeliz en tu vida, piensa en todo lo que tienes y nunca en lo que te falta; piensa en la cantidad de gente que te quiere, las abuelitas, los tÃos, los primos y, sobre todo, tu mamá, Claudia, y yo que te amamos sin fronteras. Piensa en que la felicidad está al alcance de tus manos, alégrate de tu belleza y cultÃvala, y sobre todo, cuida tu inteligencia, cuida la belleza que está dentro de ti, la belleza que sólo tú puedes hacer crecer conociendo al mundo y a los hombres, leyendo apasionadamente y estudiando, que tus ojos brillen porque dentro de ti mantienes encendido y cálido el fuego. Sé sabia, amor mÃo. Ser sabio es conocer en cada época todo lo que ella nos depara, vivir apasionadamente cada camino y cada extravÃo, saber siempre que el saber es un árbol infinito donde siempre se escala, ser sabia, mi niñita, es saber gozar de las cosas pequeñas de la vida y saber estar siempre al lado de los ideales justos. Y sé buena, también, niña mÃa, que tu alma siempre esté vestida de fiesta para recibir al amor y para hacer brotar amor. Nadie se resiste a un alma que va de fiesta por la vida. La risa convoca la risa. El amor llama al amor. Odia, mi niña, la injusticia y a los injustos, odia el dolor que provocan unos hombres en otros, rebélate contra toda injusticia que veas cometer a tu lado. No importa si sufres un poco por ello, con el tiempo tu estatura se habrá agigantado y te regocijarás con el orgullo en tu propio valor personal, un orgullo sano, dulce y humano.
