Pacific Hornero
Furnarius cinnamomeus (Lesson, RP, 1844)
Furnariidae — Ovenbirds
Pacific Hornero, Furnarius cinnamomeus, is a passerine of the ovenbird family that breeds in western Ecuador and north-western Peru. It is a resident bird of semi-open to open country, especially lowland places near water, and it also uses river-edge woodland, secondary growth, farmland, parks and gardens. Its range is centred on the Pacific slope, and it is marked by a long, slightly downcurved bill. The sexes look alike. It builds a mud oven nest with a lined chamber, usually on a branch but sometimes on man-made structures, and lays two or three eggs.
