Mexican Woodnymph
Eupherusa ridgwayi
Very local in tropical foothills of west Mexico; endemic. Favors oak woodland and shade-coffee plantations. Mainly feeds at low levels, often in shady gullies. Best detected by its distinctive, slightly liquid twittering calls. Male often looks blackish overall: note the black bill, dark blue tail, emerald gorget, and deep blue crown that sometimes catch the light. Female notably plain and drab: note plain gray face and underparts and black bill.
Spot-flanked Gallinule
Porphyriops melanops
Small marsh bird with a disjunct range in South America, from central Colombia to eastern Brazil to central Chile. Note gray head and breast, warm brown upperparts, and brown flanks with white spots. Its greenish bill is distinctive. Singles or pairs can be seen swimming or walking in marshy habitat at the edge of lakes or ponds, sometimes remaining quite hidden. Unlikely to be confused, but compare with juvenile Common Gallinule, which has a dingy bill and a bold white stripe on the flanks.
Apapane
Himatione sanguinea
A blood-red Hawaiian honeycreeper found on all of the larger islands. Smaller and darker red than the Iiwi, with a shorter black bill and white under the tail. Juveniles are brown instead of red. Sometimes abundant in native forest at high elevations and also occurs at lower elevations in some areas where it usually stays high in the forest canopy. Large numbers may congregate in a flowering tree. Sometimes holds the tail cocked up. Often flies in flocks, sometimes high above the forest. Song consists of 2–3 soft notes followed by a reedy trill: “dee-der-di-di-di-di.”
