I had seen Buff-throated Woodcreeper along Manu Road www.flickr.com/photos/luminouscompositions/52637647328/in... and saw this species again at lower elevation at the Los Amigos Biological Station on the Rio Madre de Dios. This is in keeping with the information in “Birds of Peru” by Schulenberg et al, where the entry for this species states that it is “common and widespread” in Amazonian Peru. This individual was at the low end of its foraging habitat, given that the guidebook indicates that it can be found “from understory to canopy, but most often relatively high.”
I've hung on to this one for so long because I thought THE only pipet was a Water Pipet, and there was no water in Mt. Rainier NP where we found this guy running around on the ground. Today I found out that the American Pipit known by the preferred ornithologists' name, the Buff-bellied pipet.
It's been known for a long, long time: "The buff-bellied pipit (Anthus rubescens), or American pipit as it is known in North America, is a small songbird found on both sides of the northern Pacific. It was first described by Marmaduke Tunstall in his 1771 Ornithologia Britannica. It was formerly classified as a form of the water pipit."
So here is my one and only pipet, by whatever name. And speaking of names, don't you just love "Marmaduke Tunstall?"
Another striking wing pattern in a moth seen at the walk-in trap at Curry Farm, Bradwell, Essex. This species is buff arches Habrosyne pyritoides.
This is one I have wanted to see for ages because it is the most fabulous mimic. So like a large broken twig
Carr Canyon. Sierra Vista, Arizona. 4/30/2016.
David had this species in this same location some years ago. There were a few in one of the campground areas near the end of the road up top. David suggested we try that location and I am glad he did. This is a rare flycatcher for the USA but it has apparently been becoming more common over the last decade in this part of Arizona.

I photographed this buff banded rail at Corroboree Billabong in the Northern Territory of Australia. They are usually a very shy bird that runs away when they see someone but this one was different and hung around long enough for me to get a few good photos.

Found in cloud forest from Venezuela to Ecuador, mostly from 1,500–2,400 m. Usually forages in middle to upper levels of trees. Visits feeders, where it aggressively defends its territory against other hummingbirds.

A rare bird on the west coast found by Will Knowlton.
This Buff Arches wishes it had armpit barbs like the Leopard moth, might deter those pesky mites..!
I had been hoping to catch one of these, I was having one last look around when I spotted it, and had to use the brush to prise it out of the hose reel. It was warming up, there was no way it was going to hang around while I moved it to something a bit more aesthetically pleasing!!
Happy Moth Monday!
