Himalayan Owl

Fairly small hummingbird with a limited range in the foothills on the east slope of the Andes from southern Colombia to northern Peru. The broad white collar and extensive white in the tail are the most obvious field marks, otherwise it is green above and white below with a straight bill. Occasionally visits feeders, but is more likely to be found in the understory of forests in the foothills from around 900 to 1,300 m. Compare with female Booted Racket-tail and Rufous-vented Whitetip.

Very large pigeon with a pink head and underparts, brown wings, and a rufous tail. In flight, the pale head and rump patch are distinctive. Found locally on the island of Mauritius in humid forest, plantations, and secondary habitat. The common vocalization is a series of low, mournful hoots. Could be mistaken for Madagascar Turtle-Dove, but much larger, and easily separated by the pink head and rufous tail without pale corners. 

Small, plump brown bird with a fairly long tail sometimes held cocked. Has lighter brown underparts, a faint white eyebrow, and black streaking on the face and throat. Found in rocky grasslands with short grass at high elevations, where it forages on the ground between patches of grass. Compared to the similar Cordilleran Canastero, Streak-throated has more prominent streaking in the face and throat and a brown tail (reddish brown in Cordilleran). Its song is a soft, short trill, and it also gives bursts of “pit” notes.
