分布与栖息地
The grey-headed honeyeater has an extensive range covering much of central arid and semi-arid Australia. The extent of occurrence is estimated at 4,360,000 square kilometres.<p>The grey-headed honeyeater mostly frequents Eucalyptus scrub and woodlands in stony hill country and timbered gullies within ranges; however, it can be observed on sand-plains, when vegetation is flowering. The species has also been recorded in mulga and mallee woodlands, riverine areas dominated by River Red Gum (Eucalyptus camaldulensis), and occasionally in Mitchell grasslands.<p>The grey-headed honeyeater is thought to be largely sedentary; however, it undertakes nomadic movements in response to flowering events. While these movements are predominately local, some larger movements have been recorded. For example, one individual was recorded in East Point, Darwin, 270 kilometres north of its previously documented range, following major Eucalyptus flowering events.

Sao Paulo Bristle-Tyrant
Pogonotriccus paulista
Tiny flycatcher with a slender tail not usually held cocked. Olive above and on the breast with a yellow throat and belly. The face is pale yellow with a broad dark crescent behind the eye and a yellow eyebrow. Found in the lower and middle levels of lowland humid forests and borders, where it forages very actively, usually in association with mixed-species flocks. Normally found at lower elevations than Oustalet's Tyrannulet. The song is a series of high-pitched frenetic whistles.
Cuban Palm-Crow
Corvus minutus
Endemic to Cuba. A large, all-black, gregarious species of open woodlands, scrub, and palm savannahs; often found in flocks of up to fifty birds. Note this species’ relatively short, stout bill with extensive feathering on top. Compare with Cuban Crow, which has longer bill with less extensive feathering on top. Vocalizations are predominantly a flat, nasal “raaah,” which is rather different from any of the various calls of Cuban Crow.
Rufous Woodpecker
Micropternus brachyurus
Odd medium-sized brownish woodpecker with a short dark bill. Overall coloration and wing markings vary considerably across a wide range. Males have a red patch under the eye. Gives a range of loud, insistent calls, including a sharp “weep weep weep!” Distinctive drum accelerates then trails off. Forages throughout the levels of the forest, often with mixed-species flocks. Frequently drills into ant nests.
