We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service), propose to list as endangered four species of birds from Colombia -- the blue- billed curassow (Crax alberti), the brown-banded antpitta (Grallaria milleri), the Cauca guan (Penelope perspicax), and the gorgeted wood- quail (Odontophorus strophium) -- and one bird species from Ecuador -- the Esmeraldas woodstar (Chaetocercus berlepschi) -- as endangered under the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (Act) (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.). This proposal, if made final, would extend the Act's protection to these species. The Service seeks data and comments from the public on this proposed rule.
