Northern Pygmy-Owl

Long-legged songbird found in semi-arid parts of southern Australia. Grayish above, paler gray below, with faint wingbars and long tail, often flicked upward. Very subtle dark mark through the eye and cheek. Usually seen running around on the ground in open woodland, although male also sings from higher perches. Main call is a repeated three-note rising whistle, "chip-dee-deee," but also makes rough, buzzy alarm calls.

A striking creamy-white pigeon with silvery-black wings and tail and dark speckles on the base of the undertail. Juveniles are grayer, with buff fringes to many feathers. Typically found in groups within the treetops of forest edge and in open wooded areas in the lowlands. Very similar to Pied Imperial-Pigeon, but Silvery-tipped differs in the silvery cast to the dark wing markings and the presence of dark markings at the base of the undertail. Vocalizations include a deep hoot with emphasis on the middle section: “whooOOoo.”

A pale powder-blue-and-white seabird with a faint grayish dark “M” across the upperwings. Note the dark blue “thumb mark” collar, the blue eye-stripe, the white eyebrow, the white throat, and the grayish cap. Restricted to two known breeding islands, Saint Paul in the South Indian Ocean, and Gough in the South Atlantic. Almost identical to Antarctic Prion, but bulkier and more heavy-chested, with a slightly wider bill. All but inseparable from Salvin’s Prion, with which it shares the breeding island of Gough, and with which it was once considered one species; MacGillivray’s is incrementally broader-billed, but birds seen at sea may not be identifiable.
