Island Leaf Warbler

Small bicolored sandpiper which often bobs its tail in a distinctively wagtail-like manner. Plain brown with white underparts; distinguished from bulkier and rounder-headed Green Sandpiper by a prominent white spur at the shoulder. Found in a variety of wetland habitats; breeds on stony ground along rivers and lakeshores, with migrants occurring on muddy and rocky substrates from concrete canal banks to channels in tidal mudflats. Mainly found as singles or in small groups, not in flocks or mixed with other species.

A medium-sized honeyeater of montane forest and subalpine scrub. Gray color with heavy streaks over the whole body other than the plain throat, rufous flanks, long, curved bill and a gray eye. Forages at flowering shrubs and cocks its tail. Similar to Rufous-backed and Rufous-sided Honeyeaters, but Gray-streaked is larger with a gray eye and lacks any rufous on the upperparts. Call, a single, falling, plaintive whistle “piiiiiiuuuuu” sometimes given in a falling series. Also gives a nasal “wek!”.

Chunky, bull-headed puffbird of lowland and foothill rainforest east of the Andes to far western Brazil. Underparts are pale with dark, vertical streaks. Also note stout, yellowish bill, and brown cap and back. Very similar to Eastern Striolated-Puffbird (limited overlap in Brazil and possibly Bolivia), but has thicker streaks on underparts. Singles or pairs perch motionless for long periods high in the canopy; usually heard before seen. Typical song is a whistled “wip wip-whirrr?, whurrrr”, with the other member of the pair responding at slightly different pitch.
