Red-and-white Antpitta

Small and compact nightjar of vegetated semi-desert habitats. Overall rather pale sandy-brown, but note the distinctive rusty hind-collar and buff tips on scapulars and coverts when sitting on the ground. In flight flashes big white patches on wings and tail corners and wings appear relatively short and rounded. Also note the rich rusty underwing. Breeds under bushes, forages in open habitats, and often sits on tracks in the road. Vocalizations sound similar to a distant double-bark, "Kau-kau, kau-kau…"

Typical “blue-eyed shag”, endemic to the Antarctic Peninsula and South Shetland Islands. Striking adult has the bicolored coloration, yellow caruncles, and white shoulder bar typical of that group; also a small stiff crest during the early breeding season. Juvenile is much drabber, being simply dark above and white below. Almost identical to South Georgia Shag, but ranges differ. Breeds on rocky terrain, on both islands and the mainland. Like many of the other “blue-eyed shags”, tends not to stray too far from colony sites, except when winter ice forces birds to move farther afield to access open water.

A relatively slender fruit-dove that appears mostly green with a greenish belly, a silver chest and head, a magenta forehead, and an orange bill. Similar to Atoll Fruit-Dove, but much more boldly colored, with dark instead of pink legs. The two species are unlikely to be found on the same islands. Call is usually a couple of longer “woo” notes followed by an accelerated “laughing.”
