Habitat Comparison
Song & Call Comparison
Bearded Wood-partridge
Emits a loud, resonant hooting call similar to other Dendrortyx wood-partridges. The owl-like hooting carries through cloud forest; calls are poorly differentiated from Long-tailed.
Black-eared Wood-quail
Repeated mellow 'poh-WEEOO' whistle, often in coordinated duets; hollow and ventriloquial in dense rainforest. Alarm is a sharp rapid 'pit-pit-pit' series.
Geographic Range & Migration
Bearded Wood-partridge
Endemic to cloud forest in the Sierra de Juárez, Oaxaca, Mexico, and adjacent Veracruz at 1,500-2,500 m. Rarely observed.

About These Birds
Bearded Wood-partridge
A medium-sized New World quail (~405 g) of family Odontophoridae, with a distinct facial streak resembling a beard. Endemic to cloud forest in a restricted area of the Sierra Madre Oriental of eastern Mexico. Forages on the ground for seeds and invertebrates. Vulnerable; critically restricted range in highly fragmented Mexican highland forests, with ongoing habitat loss from agricultural expansion.
Black-eared Wood-quail
A medium-sized New World quail (~335 g) of family Odontophoridae, with black ear coverts and rich brown body plumage. Inhabits humid lowland and foothill forests from Honduras and Nicaragua to Panama and northwestern Colombia. Forages on the forest floor for seeds and invertebrates. Near Threatened due to deforestation in Central American forest habitats, though still present in protected areas.
