Socotra Warbler

Large and spectacular pheasant found in forested areas. Variable across its large range, but the long-tailed male has either white or silvery-gray upperparts with a black crest, breast, and belly. Northern males are whiter above than their southern counterparts, though they still have some light black markings on the wings and back. Females are brownish overall with a much shorter tail. Both sexes have bright red face and legs. Hybridizes extensively with Kalij Pheasant where ranges overlap, producing variable intermediate hybrids.

Large chunky, olive-green greenbul. The crown is gray, and there is a white arc above the eye, and a dark cheek with fine white stripes, though these can be hard to see. Found in humid foothill and montane forest. The song is a chatty, up-and-down series of low “chowp” notes and higher nasal notes. Similar to Black-browed Mountain Greenbul, but has cheek striping, and greenish rather than grayish underparts.

Medium-sized parakeet of tepui highlands. Plumage mostly green with distinctive yellow and red patches at the bend of the wing, visible even on perched birds. Also note long tail, pale bill, and white ring around eye. Relatively common but can be difficult to see well; groups fly through canopy, stopping abruptly to feed in fruiting and flowering trees, where they can easily be overlooked. Call is a rollicking, screeching chatter like other Pyrrhura. No similar parakeet occurs in high-elevation tepui forests.
