Volcano Junco

A small bushshrike in which males and females are strikingly different. Males are black and gray on the upperparts, whitish below. Females are gray-brown on the upperparts, pale gray below. Local and generally uncommon in dry savanna and thornscrub. Usually in pairs. Similar to Black-backed and Northern Puffbacks, but noticeably smaller, with a pale base to the bill. The most common vocalization is an explosive, repeated “kweea,” but the species also gives scolding and ratcheting calls. 

An inconspicuous woodland species often first detected by voice. It has a slender build and is colored dull brown above and mostly grayish white below. The Caribbean Elaenia is vaguely similar but is smaller and has a distinct yellow wash below unlike the Puerto Rican Flycatcher. Vocalizations include a quick “tsee-ick” and a drawn out, plaintive “pheeeee.”

Small, active songbird with long, pale-tipped tail and warm brownish-orange on the forehead, rump, and tail base. Grayish brown above and pale below overall, with a white throat and black-speckled breast. Frequently cocks and fans tail. Inhabits wooded habitats, often favoring areas with wet ground, such as mangroves and rainforest. Listen for high-pitched, tinkling song. Formerly grouped with other closely related species under “Rufous Fantail.”
