Northern Masked-Weaver
Ploceus taeniopterus
A fairly small, slim weaver with a chunky bill. Always shows a dark bill and eye. Breeding male is distinctive, with bright yellow overall plumage and a black mask that grades into chestnut at its edges. Females, non-breeding males, and juveniles are much duller, but show streaking on the back and pale underparts. Found mainly in wetlands, though the species will range into surrounding dry savanna. Almost always found in flocks. Plumages other than the breeding male’s can be hard to separate from other weavers, but can be cautiously identified by the dark bill and eye, fairly pale overall coloration, and size and shape. Vocalizations are typical of weavers: “chek” notes and a sizzling “radio static” song.

Kauai Amakihi
Chlorodrepanis stejnegeri
An uncommon Hawaiian honeycreeper of forests on Kauai. Males are bright yellow and females are grayer. Larger and thicker-billed than amakihis on other islands. Occurs in native forest above 3,000 feet elevation in the understory and forest canopy where it searches for nectar, insects, and fruit. Song is a trill that does not change in pitch or speed. Call is a nasal “chee.”
Pyrrhuloxia
Cardinalis sinuatus
Essentially a desert-dwelling cardinal, found in brushy areas of the southwestern U.S. and northern Mexico. Shaped much like a Northern Cardinal but with a longer, thinner crest and more rounded bill shape. Plumage is mostly gray with red highlights on the face, crest, belly, wings, and tail. Bill color is usually yellowish, but grayer on immatures. Usually seen in pairs or small flocks, often visiting bird feeders. Song is similar to Northern Cardinal but higher-pitched and more piercing.
Red-winged Prinia
Prinia erythroptera
Long-tailed warbler with pale underparts and a rufous wing. The color of the head and back is grayish in breeding plumage and brown in non-breeding plumage. Found in areas of lush woodland with tall grass. Usually in the undergrowth, but will perch up sometimes, as when singing. The song is a fast series of whistled calls by one bird, often accompanied by “tik” notes from another. Similar to Tawny-flanked Prinia, but separated by the rufous wing and lack of a pale eyebrow.
