Legge's Hawk-Eagle

Small. Yellowish-olive above with a bright yellow throat and base to the undertail and a gray belly. Has a thin white eye-ring and a small, smudgy black eye-stripe. Bill and legs dark gray. On Florida Island, birds lack the white eye-ring and have red eyes. Found in most habitats with trees or large bushes. Similar to Gray-throated White-eye, but has yellow throat and stronger olive coloration above. Common call is a loud repetitive “peep peep.”

Large swallow with pointed wings and slightly forked tail. Males are deep iridescent purple; females are also entirely dark, but are brownish below, with faint scaling. Migrates within South America; at some times of year, occurs with other very similar martin species, making identification difficult. Females lack the light belly of similar Purple and Gray-breasted Martins; males essentially indistinguishable from Purple Martin.

Medium-sized hummingbird of middle and high elevations. Green above, white below, with a pinkish lower mandible. Found around forest edges and scrubby open habitats. Distinguished with care from the very similar Green-and-white Hummingbird by the white extending lower onto the underside of the tail, and by its sometimes lighter pink lower mandible; it is also typically found in more open habitats than that species.
