バフムジツグミ
The Clay-colored Thrush, Turdus grayi, is a medium-sized songbird in the family Turdidae that ranges from eastern Mexico through Central America to northwestern Colombia. It is the national bird of Costa Rica, where it is common in gardens, parks, forest edges, plantations, and humid lowland and foothill forests from sea level to moderate elevations. The species is characterized by its uniformly clay-brown to olive-brown plumage, pale grayish-white underparts with faint streaking on the throat, yellowish-green bill, and yellow eye-ring. Formerly known as the Clay-colored Robin, it is closely related to the American Robin and shares the typical thrush body plan of a stout, medium-sized body with powerful legs for ground foraging. The Clay-colored Thrush is omnivorous, feeding on a wide variety of fruits, berries, earthworms, insects, and small lizards. Its melodious, flute-like song is considered one of the most beautiful in tropical America and is delivered throughout the year, intensifying before the rainy season in Central America. The species adapts well to human-modified landscapes including gardens and agricultural areas with scattered trees. It is assessed as Least Concern by IUCN with a large and stable population.
Common Neacomys
<em>Neacomys spinosus</em>, the common neacomys or spiny neacomys, is a small rodent in the family Cricetidae found in South America. This ground-dwelling mouse is characterized by its distinctively spiny fur, an adaptation that may provide protection against predators. <em>Neacomys spinosus</em> typically inhabits tropical lowland and montane forests, forest edges, and adjacent scrubby vegetation in northwestern South America, with its geographic range including Colombia and surrounding countries. The species forages on the forest floor and in low vegetation, and is believed to consume seeds, plant material, and invertebrates, although specific dietary data are limited. It is currently assessed as Least Concern by the IUCN, with populations considered stable across its range, though ongoing deforestation in the Amazonian and Andean foothills may present long-term threats. Biological traits such as lifespan, body size, and diet remain poorly documented for this species across its full range. <em>Neacomys spinosus</em> plays a role in seed dispersal and forms part of the prey base for small mammalian and avian predators in its tropical forest ecosystems.
