Henderson Island Reed Warbler

Handsome swallow restricted to relatively dry regions of western Ecuador and western Peru. Plumage is blue and white with chestnut collar, breast band, sides, rump, and forehead. Similar to Cliff Swallow, which is a rare migrant within the range of Chestnut-collared, but note the chestnut breast band and lack of white on the forehead. Most often encountered around cities and towns, where it nests colonially in the eaves of buildings.

Tiny, ornately-plumaged flycatcher of bamboo forests. White below, black above, with a large white cheek patch, orange crown, forehead patch, and yellow back. Forages singly or in pairs in the crowns of bamboo; local and usually only found in pure bamboo patches with tall bamboo. Listen for its song, a chirping series of musical notes “pur pep-pep-pep-pep.”

A large, dull-green pigeon with a thick pale bill and a gray forehead. The dark olive-green and maroon wings have contrasting yellow lines below the shoulders, and the undertail is dull yellow with green patches. Often flocks in large numbers, and feeds in the canopy on fruits and figs. The song is a distinctive low, nasal whistle.
