Gray-hooded Warbler

A medium-sized, gray-brown warbler that looks very similar to other species. Note the rather stout bill and broad dark tail. Smaller and browner than Olive-tree Warbler and larger than Eastern Olivaceous Warbler. Wing panel is not as prominent as that of Olive-tree Warbler. Breeds on scrubby hillsides and river valleys; occasionally in flatter lowlands. During non-breeding season, found in a variety of wooded or brushy habitats. Sings from prominent perches—a repetitive, rapid mix of musical and scratchy phrases. Call is a harsh "chak."

A fairly large honeyeater of mid-montane forest canopy. Mainly dusky gray plumage with a white scaled back, olive wing feathers, pale green eye wattle with short cinnamon stripes above and behind, and an additional red mark below the cheek. Similar to Belford’s and Huon Melidectes, but Cinnamon-browed lacks the facial stripe down from the bill. Call, a loud shriek or cackling phrase “keeet! kwit-kwit-kwit-kwit-kwit-kwit-kwit!”

Attractive and distinctively patterned large parakeet, very local in Chile, more common in Argentina. Favors open and semiopen habitats in drier regions with banks or low bluffs nearby, where it nests colonially in burrows. Usually in small groups and often located by its nasal laughing and crowing calls. Feeds on ground and in bushes, at times perching on roadside wires. No similar species in range, but note whitish eyering and bright yellow belly with red median patch. Also introduced to Hawaii where it is uncommon and local (but may be increasing) along the western side of Hawaii Island; favors the coast, where it roosts and nests on rocky sea cliffs.
