Salim Ali's Swift
Apus salimalii
A large scimitar-winged swift of valleys, cliffs, and gorges. Nests in buildings and rock crevices; often gives a chattering scream when entering and leaving the nest. Dusky brown with a pale grayish belly, bright white rump, and forked tail. Essentially indistinguishable from the closely related Pacific Swift, but ranges do not overlap; Salim Ali’s Swift is restricted to the highlands of the Qinghai-Tibetan plateau and adjoining foothill regions.
Rust-and-yellow Tanager
Thlypopsis ruficeps
Small, bright yellow tanager of middle and high elevations. Males have a rusty orange head, while females have only a hint of rusty color, and immatures are plain yellow. Forages low in the understory and mid-story of a variety of habitats, from humid montane forest to forest edges and high-elevation scrub. Often found in pairs or small groups, and frequently joins mixed-species flocks with other tanagers.
