Rufous-breasted Sabrewing
Campylopterus hyperythrus
Large, conspicuous hummingbird of tepui highlands. Green above and rufous below. Note extensively rufous outer tail feathers, which are easily seen as birds tend to flare tail frequently. Generally common at higher elevations (above 1000 m), especially at forest edge and in lower-stature, scrubby vegetation. Feeds on nectar and pugnaciously defends patches of flowers against other hummingbirds. Not shy and will approach to investigate observers. In territorial interactions, gives a rich, sharp note, often doubled, repeated incessantly, and similar to calls of more widespread Gray-breasted Sabrewing; also gives a single, ascending, burry note, possibly as an alarm call. No other hummingbird in highland range is as large or shows as much rufous.

Broad-billed Prion
Pachyptila vittata
The largest of the six prion species, with an exceptionally wide bill that gives the head a chunky appearance. Occurs in dispersed flocks at sea, where it catches prey items either sitting on the water or skimming the surface for zooplankton. Can be seen around breeding colonies on the Chatham Islands, in southern New Zealand, and in the South Atlantic Ocean. The wide bill distinguishes this species from other prions apart from Salvin’s and MacGillivray's, which are smaller in overall size and have a narrower bill than the Broad-billed Prion. However this can be hard to see at sea, and identification of prions is often impossible without a good view or photograph.

White-tailed Shrike
Lanioturdus torquatus
Odd and distinctive terrestrial batis. Has long legs, an upright posture, and a white tail with a black dot near the tip. Found in dry woodland and savanna, often in rocky areas. Spends most of its time on or near the ground, though it will perch up in bushes. Usually in pairs. Vocalizations include piercing whistles, low croaks, and ratcheting calls. Similar to batises, but terrestrial habits and white tail easily identify it.
