Geositta
''Geositta'' is a genus of passerine birds in the ovenbird family, Furnariidae. They are known as miners (not to be confused with the unrelated miners, ''Manorina'', of Australia) due to the tunnels they dig for nesting. There are 11 species including the campo miner (''Geositta poeciloptera'') which was formerly classified in a genus of its own, ''Geobates''. They inhabit open country in South America, particularly the Andean and Patagonian regions. They are ground-dwelling birds, somewhat resembling the larks and wheatears of other continents. They are mostly drab brown in coloration and often have a fairly long and slender bill Bill(s) may refer to: Common meanings * Banknote, paper cash (especially in the United States) * Bill (law), a proposed law put before a legislature * Invoice, commercial document issued by a seller to a buyer * Bill, a bird or animal's beak Plac ....

Common Miner
The common miner (''Geositta cunicularia'') is a passerine bird of South America, belonging to the ovenbird family. It is a ground-dwelling bird which feeds on insects and seeds. It has about 9 different subspecies, some of which may be better treated as separate species. It is 14 to 16 cm long with a fairly long, slightly downcurved bill. The plumage varies geographically but is basically brown above and pale below with a streaked breast, pale stripe over the eye, dark edge to the ear-coverts and pale rufous bar across the wing. The tail is dark with a buff base and variable amounts of buff on the outer feathers. The trilling song is often given in flight and also varies geographically. The species occurs in open habitats such as grassland, sand dunes and beaches from sea level to high in the Andes. It is widespread and sometimes common across much of Chile, Argentina and Uruguay, parts of Peru and Bolivia and in southernmost Brazil. In winter there is some northward mig ...

Short-billed Miner
The short-billed miner (''Geositta antarctica'') is a species of bird in the family Furnariidae, probably the most southerly breeding passerine in the world. It weighs around and is typically around in length including the tail, which when in flight is distinctively black with white edges. ''Geositta antarctica'' can be distinguished for the more widespread common miner by its much shorter bill and the absence of any rufous in the flight feathers.Ridgely, Robert S. and Tudor, Guy; ''The Birds of South America: Vol. II, The Suboscine Passerines'', pp. 27–28 Its natural habitat is entirely within the Patagonian steppe, and it breeds only in areas rain shadowed by the icy Andes in Santa Cruz Province and Tierra del Fuego. ''Geositta antarctica'' migrates as far north as Mendoza during the autumn and winter seasons, but keeps to arid areas, and it is most numerous on heavily grazed grassland on the leeward side of Tierra del Fuego. Most of its habitat is in sandy soils where i ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
