About These Birds
Ocellated Quail
A small New World quail (~200 g) of family Odontophoridae, with ocellated (eye-spot) patterning on the upperparts. Inhabits pine-oak forests and adjacent grasslands in highland Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, and Nicaragua. Forages for seeds and invertebrates. Vulnerable; restricted range, rare throughout its distribution, and threatened by habitat degradation from logging and overgrazing.
Stripe-faced Wood-quail
A medium-sized New World quail (~315 g) of family Odontophoridae, with bold facial striping. Inhabits humid montane forests on the eastern Andean slopes of Peru and Bolivia at 1,000–2,500 m elevation. Forages on the forest floor in pairs or small groups for seeds and invertebrates. Least Concern; restricted to Andean cloud forest but broadly distributed with stable populations in protected areas.
