March 19, 2025 - Tepui Brushfinch (Atlapetes personatus) These brushfinches are found in parts of Venezuela, Brazil, and Guyana in and around mountain forests. The details of their diet are unknown but they likely eat insects and seeds, foraging in pairs or small groups, sometimes with other species. Little is known about their breeding behavior, though their nests are thought to be cup-shaped, like those of closely related species.

April 24, 2025 - Sooty-capped Puffbird (Bucco noanamae) These puffbirds are found in and around lowland forests and scrub in northwestern Colombia. They feed on insects, foraging low in vegetation, though the details of their diet are unknown. Little is known about their breeding behavior but a pair was observed bringing food to their nest in an arboreal termitarium in August. They are classified as Near Threatened by the IUCN due to slow declines to their small population caused by habitat loss.

April 16, 2024 - Brown-capped Tyrannulet (Ornithion brunneicapillus) Found in parts of Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Panama, and Venezuela, these tyrant flycatchers live in lowland and mountain forests. They eat insects, picking prey from leaves, twigs, and stems while perched and forage alone, in pairs, or sometimes in mixed-species flocks. Breeding from January to August, they build messy saucer-shaped nests from fine twigs, leaf stems, and bark in trees in the understory.

The Magician represents power, resourcefulness, and manifestation. The king vulture is known to take control of carcasses from smaller vulture species such as black and turkey vultures. That paired with those magical colours and presence makes the king vulture a good choice for this card, in my opinion
