Ultramarine Kingfisher

Small finch of cloud forest along the east slope of the Andes. Male has a bright yellow forehead, orange belly, and a bluish-gray tinge to head and wings. Female is similar to other female euphonias, but has a yellow throat, whitish belly, and usually shows a hint of gray on nape and wings. Feeds in fruiting trees, often quite high, and sometimes joins mixed flocks. Voice is rather distinctive for a euphonia: gives an attention-grabbing series of piping whistles and ringing trills.

Unusual and distinctive warbler of the southwest Arabian highlands. Gray-brown, with a darker cap, paler throat, and pale eye. Found in dry montane scrub and woodland, including juniper and acacia woodland. Generally skulking, but will sometimes come into the open. The song is a loud and distinctive, but variable, series of mix of musical warbled notes. Scratchy, scolding calls are often given on their own, but can also be mixed into the song. Similar in overall shape and size to several other warblers, but identified by the browner overall coloration, with more dusky underparts. Further separated from confusion species like Arabian Warbler by the pale eye.

Small pretty warbler. Green on the upperparts, red on the face and throat, and white on the belly. Found in montane forest, mostly in the mid-story and canopy. Like other woodland-warblers, active and always on the move. The distinctive song consists of higher and lower “spit” notes that are quickly alternated in a sort of very loose trill. Similar to Brown Woodland-Warbler, but paler on the belly, with more red on the face and throat.
