Churring Cisticola

Cisticola njombe

Relatively colorful cisticola with a rufous cap and back of the neck, and a gray back with dark streaking. There are two bands across the tip of the tail, one pale and one black. Found in open montane habitats including grassland, bracken, and marsh edge. The song consists of several consecutive “tsee-wit” couplets. As with other cisticolas, habitat and vocalizations are important to identification. Similar to Wailing Cisticola, but has a brighter rufous cap without streaking, and paler underparts.

Red-billed Scimitar-Babbler

Red-billed Scimitar-Babbler

Pomatorhinus ochraceiceps

A typical scimitar-babbler, moving noisily through the undergrowth in pairs or small flocks while probing for prey with a long, curved bill. Simply colored: brown above and white below with a black mask and a bright red bill. Very similar-looking Brown-crowned Scimitar-Babbler has warm brown underparts. Often moves with other species, particularly other babblers and fulvettas, in mixed-species flocks. Gives a range of chattering, hooting, and whistling notes. A species of hill forests, particularly evergreen broadleaf forest.

Ursula's Sunbird

Ursula's Sunbird

Cinnyris ursulae

A small, inconspicuous, and easily overlooked sunbird of mountain forests. At a distance, appears fairly uniform in color, but in good light the greenish back contrasts with the gray face, olive throat, pale belly, and reddish tufts on the sides of the body that are sometimes concealed by the wings. Bill is not overly long, but is distinctly curved. Within its range, most likely to be confused with Little Green Sunbird, but Ursula’s Sunbird has a plain face and more decurved, all black bill. Song varies, but always consists of sharp, high-pitched notes that are sometimes delivered as a jumble and sometimes as a single note followed by a descending pattern of quick, high pitched notes: “tsee-TSEE-TSI-tsi-tsi.”
