Tytler's Leaf Warbler

Phylloscopus tytleri

Slender leaf warbler with no wingbar, greenish wings contrasting with grayish upperparts, a long, contrasting white eyebrow, and a long, pointed, mostly dark bill. Endemic to the Indian Subcontinent. Breeds around Kashmir. Winters in shrubbery along wet hilltops in southern India. Often seen in spring passing through the western Himalayan foothills. Can be told from Siberian Chiffchaff by its long dark eye-stripe, and from Greenish Warbler by its bill, contrasting upperparts, preference for shrubs, and distinct rising Chiffchaff-like “sweee” call.

Tytler's leaf warbler (Phylloscopus tytleri) is a songbird species. Like all leaf warblers, it was formerly placed in the "Old World warbler" assemblage, but now belongs to the new leaf-warbler family Phylloscopidae. It is found in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Nepal, and India. It passes through the Western Himalayas to winter in southern India, particularly in the Western Ghats and the Nilgiris. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist montane forests. It is threatened by habitat loss. It breeds in the Northwestern Himalayan region and is suspected to breed in the Garhwal and Kumaon Himalayas. The name commemorates the British naturalist Robert Christopher Tytler.

Often associates with other terns on beaches and at river mouths. All plumages have diagnostic white head with narrow blackish mask and reddish legs.

Great Spinetail

Great Spinetail

Synallaxis hypochondriaca

Handsome spinetail with a highly restricted range, known only from arid Andean valleys southeast of the city of Cajamarca in northern Peru. It has a white throat and eyebrow, a streaky breast, and chestnut wings and tail. Plumage is similar to Necklaced Spinetail, but Great is much larger, and the two species do not overlap. Inhabits thorny scrub and cacti. Vocalizations include fast rattles and shrill, doubled chirps.

Spice Imperial-Pigeon

Spice Imperial-Pigeon

Ducula myristicivora

A large, stocky pigeon that is found on islands off the shore of Halmahera and far western Papua. Gray head, emerald-green back and wings, blue tail and rusty vent. The eye is red and there is a large knob-like projection on the front top of the bill. Found in a variety of forested habitats, and some wander between islands, sometimes straying to the mainland. Voice a deep, gravelly, 2-note “grrr-waw”, with the second note higher than the first. Similar Spectacled Imperial-Pigeon may co-occur but is separated by its white spectacle around the eye and lack of a knob on the bill.
