White-winged Collared-Dove

Large and long-tailed green parakeet with a bright red beak. Female lacks male’s pink-and-black ring around the neck. Note the very long tail. Similar to significantly smaller Rose-ringed Parakeet; note Alexandrine’s dark red shoulder patches and larger bill. Raucous and loud; gives piercing screeches and screams. Found in both dry and wet forest, typically in lowlands but occasionally in foothills. Native to South and Southeast Asia, introduced to parts of Europe and Hong Kong.

A shy, uniformly chestnut-brown bird found in the foothills and lower slopes of Colombia’s Santa Marta Mountains. It lacks strong field marks, but has a rather stout bill and is slightly paler on the chin and around the eye. Always stays inside dense tangles in the forest understory, making it hard to see, and is heard much more often than it is seen. Song is a series of quick bursts of around five notes with an odd, nasal quality.

Large, dark, powerfully-built owl. Has orange eyes and rufous tones to the plumage, on both the back and the underparts. Found in rugged and rocky terrain, mainly in the mountains, though down to sea level in southern Africa. Uncommon to rare across its range. Call is 2–3 deep hoots. Similar to Spotted Eagle-Owl, but larger, with bright-orange eyes, more rufous in the plumage, and coarser markings below.
