Subalpine Robin

Small honeyeater with pale yellow throat and face, as well as a distinct black neck patch. Plumage is mostly olive-gray with yellow coloration in the wing and tail. Adult has an entirely black bill, whereas juvenile’s bill is mostly yellow. Feeds on nectar and insects. Tends to be aggressive towards other species. Found in tropical forests of northern Australia and Papua New Guinea.

A tiny bird that skulks in the dense undergrowth of evergreen forests, particularly around running water. Brown above with a large white throat patch and belly. Similar to Tawny-breasted and Gray-bellied Wren-Babblers, but the Long-tailed Wren-Babbler has a longer tail and distinct white streaks along the flanks. The song is a relatively short warble of 3-5 loud, melodic notes.

Rather chunky, small plover of Andean salt flats, bogs, and lakeshores. Found singly or in small groups, sometimes associating loosely with other shorebirds such as migrant Baird’s Sandpipers. Plumage distinctive (no seasonal changes), with broad black diagonal mask across the face, a variable rusty cap (males average brighter than females), and only faint dusky breast bands. Juvenile lacks black and rusty head pattern and is rather drab overall, but no similar species in range (soon attains adultlike plumage).
