Malagasy Sunbird
Cinnyris notatus
Large, dark sunbird with a long, curved bill. Males are glossy green and black, while females are dark brown with heavy streaking below. Found in forest, plantations, gardens, and scrub. Active bird that feeds mainly on nectar. Common call is a simple “cheep,” sometimes repeated quickly. Dark males are distinctive. Females can be told from female Souimanga Sunbird by their larger size, larger bill, and heavy streaking below.
White-bellied Mountain-gem
Lampornis hemileucus
Medium-sized hummingbird, male mostly green above with purple throat, thin white line behind eye, and bright white belly. Female not quite as colorful but still unique with white belly and line behind eye; she has a spotted throat. A forest hummingbird that also comes out to edges and gardens.
Simple Greenbul
Chlorocichla simplex
As befits the name, this large, classically patterned greenbul is one of the easiest to identify visually in the field. A brown greenbul of thick bushes and forest edge, it has a bright white throat, a white belly, and white eye-arcs around its dark reddish eyes. Can be confused with Central African populations of Yellow-throated Greenbul that have white throats, but Simple Greenbul’s white eye-arcs and pale belly are distinctive. Song is a cawing, robust, variable chatter: “rar-ra-ra-kora-rawr.”
