guacamaya amarilla y azul

Una de las especies de guacamayos más llamativas y ampliamente mantenidas en cautiverio, los guacamayos azulamarillo exhiben un brillante azul cobalto en las partes superiores que contrasta con un vivo amarillo en las partes inferiores y frente verde. Habitan bosques, matorrales y sabanas desde el este de Panamá a través de Venezuela, Brasil y Bolivia hasta Perú y Ecuador. Muy inteligentes, viven en parejas o pequeñas bandadas, alimentándose de nueces de palma, semillas y frutos. Populares en avicultura durante más de 400 años, pueden vivir más de 80 años en cautiverio.

Chotacabras de la Carolina

The Chuck-will's-widow (Antrostomus carolinensis) is the largest nightjar in North America, named for its distinctive far-carrying call — a resonant four-syllable whistle repeated persistently on warm nights. It breeds across the southeastern United States, from the Atlantic coastal plain through the Gulf states and up the Mississippi Valley to southern Indiana and Kansas. The species migrates southward in autumn to winter quarters in the Caribbean, Central America, and northern South America. Like all nightjars, it is a crepuscular and nocturnal insectivore, capturing large moths, beetles, and other flying insects in flight using its enormous, bristle-fringed gape. By day, the Chuck-will's-widow roosts on the ground or along horizontal branches, relying on cryptic mottled plumage for concealment. It nests directly on the leaf litter of open woodland and scrub, typically in pine-oak forests, dry forests, and woodland edges. The IUCN classifies this species as Least Concern, though Breeding Bird Survey data suggest moderate long-term population declines linked to forest fragmentation and light pollution that disrupts insect prey availability. Conservation of large-scale woodland tracts in the southeastern United States benefits this species and its associated nightjar community.
