Great Pampa-Finch

A large dark sunbird with a long and deeply curved bill. Both sexes show a large yellow panel in the wing and yellow sides to the tail. Males are mostly blackish, but in breeding plumage have copper iridescence on the breast, head, and back. Females are dark brown on the back and pale below with a yellow wash. Found in montane woodland, grassland, gardens, and forest edges.Easily separated from other sunbirds by the golden wing.  The song is a high-pitched sizzle, and the most common call is a rattling “tr-tr-tr-tr-tr.” 

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 spectacular green turaco with a bushy crest. There are two white marks on the face, though these vary geographically in size, and one subspecies also shows orange on the back of the head. Shows large crimson wing patches in flight. Found in montane forest and woodland. Acts like a typical turaco, bouncing through the trees and flying occasionally with short bursts of wingbeats and long glides. Call is a gruff, accelerating series of “kow” notes. Similar to Prince Ruspoli’s Turaco, but easily separated by its white facial markings.
