Tschudi's Nightjar

Distinctive shape that is typical of jacanas, including enormous feet. Most adults have white on the back of the head and neck, though some are completely dark-headed. Juvenile shows a stripe through the eye. Uncommon at low elevations in western and northern Madagascar, in a variety of thickly vegetated wetlands, especially those with water lilies. Call is a quiet series of “trrr” notes. Distinctive, as this is the only jacana in its range. 

Medium-sized, chunky parrot; typically appears entirely green with a contrasting red forehead. Usually found in pairs or larger groups; feeds on fruit and flowers, sometimes commuting long distances between feeding sites. Locally distributed and unlikely to be encountered away from seasonally flooded forests along large rivers or in coastal regions. Smaller than Blue-cheeked Parrot with darker face pattern and black bill. Festive Parrot also lacks contrasting orange patch on wing and has a burrier, more nasal call than Blue-cheeked Parrot.

Small, yellowish bird with a fine black bill and distinctive black stripes on head. Mostly green above and yellow below; has rufous or orange crown bordered by black, but crown color can be difficult to ascertain. Note olive eyebrow becoming yellow in front of eye, and bright pinkish-yellow legs. Inhabits dense understory of foothill forests along the eastern slope of the southern Andes and in the tepui region. Usually occurs in pairs or small family groups that forage actively for insects, often joining mixed-species flocks. Song in tepuis is a series of chips followed by a high-pitched, screeching note. In southern part of range, song is very different: a rich rollicking series of notes that may vaguely recall House Wren and is often given by pairs as a duet. In southern Andes, most similar to Golden-bellied Warbler but has olive (not entirely yellow) eyebrow; also similar to Golden-crowned Warbler but typically occurs at higher elevations and has olive (not whitish) eyebrow.
