New Bird Visitor + Mystery Bird

I heard/saw these for the first time today:


It's a yellow-winged blackbird (aka sargento). Pretty yellow wings!

I'm also hoping someone can help me identify the bird that you'll hear in this video. I think it/they have built a nest in a tree close to my house, but I can never actually see them!

EDIT: I FINALLY saw the bird. I'm about 75% sure that it's a creamy-bellied thrush (sabiá-poca), but it might be a pale-breasted thrush (sabiá-do-barranco). I couldn't get a good picture because it was on a roof. But here's a picture.

  1. No answer for you. I just remember when I saw a parrot-like thing on a jobg once. Loved it. I´m still not too sure what it was.

  2. I think it is a Bem-ti-vi. We have a similar bird that likes to frequent our neighborhood. I spent FAR too long trying to figure out what kind of bird it is. If not, I can point you to some other websites that have pictures and recorded "songs".
