Naumann's Thrush

Large, plain, long-tailed sparrow. Drab grayish-brown overall, with dark mask like a Northern Cardinal. Also note pinkish bill and orange undertail coverts. Inhabits riparian corridors, especially in dense brush. Mainly occurs in the Sonoran Desert of Arizona, barely extending into surrounding states and northern Mexico. Rather secretive as it forages on the ground for seeds and insects. Visits feeders.

Small drab tit with the typical black-head-white-cheek pattern of most tits. Darker-flanked and with a patchier "bib" than similar Black-bibbed Tit. Found in mid- to high-elevational hill and montane forests, often in areas with pines. Like many other small tits, an active forager, hovering and clambering about on thin branches, sometimes in mixed flocks. Gives a wide range of different vocalizations, including nasal and chipping call notes. Song includes nasal notes and a repeated high “tseep”.

Mid-sized warbler with a long tail. Rufous overall, with a white throat and pale eye-line. Found in various open montane habitats, including bracken, heath, dense scrub, and forest edge. Skulks in the understory, though sometimes emerges into the open. The song starts with one or a couple of high notes, followed by a low, loose trill. The call is a peevish “tree-aat.” Similar to Evergreen-forest Warbler, but in most of the range distinguished by much more rufous overall coloration. Around the Albertine Rift, distinguished from the rufous local subspecies of Evergreen-forest Warbler by the well-defined white throat.
