Order:
Piciformes Family:Bucconidae The puffbirds are related to the jacamars, and have the same range, but lack the iridescent colours of that family. They are mainly brown, rufous or grey, with large heads and flattened bills with a hooked tip. The loose abundant plumage and short tails makes them look stout and puffy, giving rise to the English common name of the family. There are 34 species and 22 species which occur in Peru.

Order:
Passeriformes Family:Tyrannidae Tyrant flycatcher s arepasserine birds which occur throughout North and South America. They superficially resemble the Old World flycatchers, but are more robust with stronger bills. They do not have the sophisticated vocal capabilities of the songbirds. Most, but not all, have plain colouring. As the name implies, most are insectivorous. There are 429 species worldwide, all found only in the Americas and 259 species which occur in Peru. This is the largest number oftyrant flycatcher s contained in any country and indeed is the largest assemblage of a family in any country on earth.*

Order:
Passeriformes Family:Emberizidae The emberizids are a large family of passerine birds. They are seed-eating birds with a distinctively shaped bill. In Europe, most species are named as buntings. In North America, most of the species in this family are known as Sparrows, but these birds are not closely related to the Old World sparrows which are in the family Passeridae. Many emberizid species have distinctive head patterns. There are species 275 worldwide and 99 species which occur in Peru. Peru has the greatest diversity of emberizids of any country on earth.
