Omani Owl

Small and virtually tailless warbler with a gray back and rufous underparts. The face is completely rufous, giving it an “open” impression. Found in a variety of savanna and woodland habitat, though mostly in Miombo in the southern part of its range. The song varies geographically: can be a soft warble or a trill. The call is a short, fast, wooden rattle. Northern and Long-billed Crombecs can look similar, but Red-faced is separated by its lack of an eye stripe.

Small bright green lorikeet with bright yellow cheeks. Also note olive-yellow crown, yellow-edged “scaling” on the belly, and bright red bill. Well-patterned underparts, bill color, and more pointed tail distinguish this species from racquet-tails, the only other similarly-sized green parrots on Sulawesi; much larger and longer-tailed than hanging-parrots. Flocks in wooded and open areas, gathering at fruiting and flowering trees. Primarily in middle elevations; less common in lowlands. Gives high-pitched shrieking calls. Formerly lumped in with Sula Lorikeet under the name “Yellow-and-green Lorikeet.”

Shy antbird usually found in wet gullies, often near streams. Ranges in lowland and foothill rainforest in western Ecuador and western Colombia. Male is mostly dark, slaty gray; female also has brown back, wings, and lower underparts. Both sexes have red eyes and pale spots on wings that usually form parallel lines. Typically encountered alone or in pairs, and stays quite close to the ground. Song is a series of ringing chirps, each at slightly different pitch, and the last note is notably higher.
