Sharpe's Apalis

An entirely green lorikeet with a small red patch on the chin, bordered with yellow. In flight, shows a green underwing with a yellow horizontal streak. Generally occurs in montane forest above 500 meters of elevation, most common above 1000 meters of elevation. Usually seen in flight. Similar Red-flanked Lorikeet differs in diagnostic bright red underwing with male having more red in the chin and a blue cheek, and female having a dark-streaked yellow cheek. Red-chinned is bigger and longer-tailed than pygmy- or hanging-parrots. Call is a high-pitched “pseet.”

Large chickenlike bird. Restricted to central Colombia; the only chachalaca in its limited range. Plain brown with scaly neck and breast, bare red skin on throat, and rufous outer tail feathers. Sexes similar. Found in forested habitats, including open woodlands and scrubby edges. Usually in small family groups or pairs. Listen for raucous calls, similar to other chachalacas.

A common medium-sized bird of open forest, scrub, and gardens from the lowlands to middle elevations in the mountains. Male has black upperparts, throat, and chest, a white belly, and a prominent white mark in the wing. In the female, the black parts are replaced by gray, except for the wing, which remains black. Similar in size and color to Philippine Pied-Fantail, but has a white mark in the wing. Song is a pleasant, medium-pitched warbling. Also gives a short descending scratchy song, harsh rasping notes, or a pulsing, downslurred “chew! chew! chew!”
