Cozumel Vireo

Sandy-brown warbler with glaring yellow eyes. Small and unobtrusive, usually skulking about in short trees and shrubbery. Inhabits a range of open habitats, including steppes, open woods, parks, and agricultural areas with scattered foliage. Whitethroats are somewhat similar in habitat and size, but are gray with heavier contrast between the underparts and upperparts.

An East Asian teal-like duck. Males are distinctive, with an iridescent head that flashes green and copper, a silvery body with distinct scalloping, extremely long curved tertials, long pale scapulars, and a triangular white throat patch outlined in dark green. Brownish females resemble female Gadwall but have a dark bill. Breeds in northern interior marshes and winters on rivers, lakes, and coastal wetlands, often in flocks with other ducks.

A very colorful bowerbird of foothill and lower montane forests. Male is bright orange and yellow with a black face, edge to the wing and tail. Female has yellow underparts and a brown back with brown scaling on the chest. Forages for fruit in the canopy but perches out in the early morning. Golden Myna is superficially similar, although the male Masked Bowerbird lacks the black back and belly. Call, a loud rasping note that sounds rather like a taser.
