STREAKED TUFTEDCHEEK Pseudocolaptes boissonneautii. A pair of foraging
Streaked Tuftedcheeks was found in the
Pasochoa Wildlife Refuge in northern Ecuador at 10:40 AM on July 27, 2016. This individual is seen on top of this large limb with its left white tuft sticking out.
Streaked Tuftedcheeks belong to the family Furnariidae (ovenbirds) and reside in Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, and Perú.
The
Pasochoa Wildlife Refuge is located about a one hour drive south of
Quito near the small town of
Tambillo in northern
Ecuador. It is situated in the semicircular collapsed
Pasochoa Volcano a little to the east and uphill from the tiny village of
San Pedro de Pilopata. About 100,000 years ago, the volcano erupted and blew off the western half of the preexisting volcanic cone. The refuge contains wonderfully preserved native vegetation and is located above a swath of pastureland facing the interandean valley to the west.
Un ave de nombre común
Barbablanca Rayada Pseudocolaptes boissonneautii se ve por encima de una rama gruesa con la barba blanca izquierda extendida al lado a las 10 y 40 de la mañana el 27 de julio de 2016. Esta
Barbablanca Rayada fue un miembro de un par que andaba por el bosque. El
Refugio de Vida Silvestre Pasochoa está ubicado aproximadamente una hora manejando en carro al sur de
Quito cerca del pueblo de
Tambillo en el norte de
Ecuador.
