Subalpine Robin

Large, dark hummingbird found in cloud forest along the east slope of the Andes. Ranges from far southern Colombia south to northern Peru. Male has large blue patch on throat and breast, and a glittering green crown. Female has gray underparts; she is similar to Gray-breasted Sabrewing but has narrower white tail tips. Also note white spot behind eye. Infrequently encountered, though does visit feeders in some areas.

Glossy black bird with a long tail, a heavy hooked bill, and a weak tuft of a crest. Also note the bright white stripe on the wing. Inhabits lowland and foothill forests. Moves in pairs and flocks, calling to keep in contact. Sometimes moves with mixed-species flocks. Quite vocal, giving a range of odd calls, including raucous and vibrant chatters given in series of varying speed, as well as hoarse rasping notes. Formerly grouped with Bornean Black Magpie under the more generic “Black Magpie.”

A small, active, mostly dull olive-green and gray warbler-like bird with a white eye-ring that is obvious with a good view. An uncommon resident in the forest canopy of interior Príncipe, where small groups join mixed-species flocks. A dry, reedy chittering contact call is often the first sign of their presence. Principe White-eye may join the same flocks as Principe Speirops, which is slightly larger and has a much whiter head.
