Jerry Friedman's birds are beautiful, but the striped
woodpecker (Veniliornis lignarius, found in

Other South American birds mentioned in Ada (2.8)

Peruvian 'honeysuckle' being visited (not only for its nectar, I'm afraid, but
for the animalcules stuck in it) by marvelous Loddigesia Hummingbirds...
