Timor Cicadabird

Small, dark honeyeater with a rufous overall tint, which is strongest on the wings and tail. Has a highly restricted range on the Indonesian islands of Obi and Bisa. Found in forest and forest edge from the lowlands up to moderate elevations. Similar to female Black Sunbird, but shows a more strongly curved bill, less contrast between the upperparts and underparts, and has a reddish wash, lacking the yellow tones on the belly of Black Sunbird.

A medium-sized dark gray bird with a white eye, a black cap, and a carrot-colored bill. Endemic to the island of Reunion. Found in humid forest as well as secondary forest and forest dominated by exotic trees; now mostly confined to middle and high elevations. Often in small, noisy groups. Somewhat similar to male Reunion Cuckooshrike, but easily separated by the orange bill and pale eye. The song is an unmusical but varied series of rattling, metallic, and scraping notes, often given from a high perch. The calls include a “chek” note and a long mew. 

Slender, medium-sized heron. Slaty-blue overall with a white belly and white underwings. Extremely long bill. In breeding plumage, look for buffy plumes on the lower back and orange tones on the throat and foreneck. Juveniles are stained rusty on the neck and shoulders. Fairly common but with restricted range in the southeastern U.S., mainly along the coast. More widespread in Central America and northern South America. Occurs in shallow wetlands, marshes, and mudflats. Often forages actively, darting around erratically and chasing after fish.
