About These Birds
Rufous-breasted Wood-quail
A medium-sized New World quail (~315 g) of family Odontophoridae, with warm rufous breast and flanks. Inhabits humid and cloud forests in the Andes of Peru, Bolivia, and Ecuador at 500–2,000 m elevation. Forages on the forest floor in pairs or small groups for seeds, berries, and invertebrates. Least Concern; broadly distributed in Andean mid-elevation forests with stable populations.
Nahan's Partridge
A small partridge (~280 g) of family Odontophoridae, dark reddish-brown with black barring. Endemic to lowland primary rainforest in Uganda and the Democratic Republic of Congo. Highly terrestrial, foraging on the forest floor for seeds, berries, and invertebrates. Vulnerable; requires intact primary forest and is threatened by widespread logging and agricultural conversion in Central Africa.
