Rufous-naped Bellbird

Small tanager found in Andean subtropical zone from Venezuela to Bolivia. Mostly bluish-green with darker wings and streaked back. Head is mostly bright yellow or orange with small black mask, throat, and nape. Buffy undertail coverts and vent only visible at some angles. Sexes alike. A fairly common member of mixed flocks from around 1,200–2,400 m, in cloud forest and edges.

Warm brown with an ochre-colored belly and pure white throat, this laughingthrush is found in foothill forests along the Himalayas and in central China. Several other laughingthrushes also have pale throats, but none are as plain and unmarked above as White-throated. Gives high whistles, often from within cover. Common in foothill forests and edges but will also occasionally venture into parks and gardens.

A large blue-black starling with a fuzzy bump on the forehead. The very long and pointed tail and large red wing panels are conspicuous in flight. Found around cliffs and other rocky areas in dry savanna and thorn scrub habitat. Sometimes sits on domestic animals. Similar to other red-winged starlings, but note the larger size, the more pointed tail, and the forehead bump. Gives a variety of simple vocalizations, of which the most common is a two-part “chu-pit.”
