Dusky Warbler
Phylloscopus fuscatus
Small songbird, mud brown above, pale below, with pale tan supercilium (white only in the lores) and black eyeline. Smaller-billed than the similar Radde's Warbler, which has a predominantly white supercilium (tan only in the lores). Inhabits a wide range of areas with dense, low vegetation, from open forests to agricultural field edges. Forages low in undergrowth, but regularly pops out to investigate surroundings. Easily detected by its hard “tak” calls, given constantly as it moves around out of sight. Song is a bland, brief series of rapidly repeated phrases: “jijijijiji.”
识别特征
The dusky warbler (Phylloscopus fuscatus) is a leaf warbler which breeds in the east Palearctic. The genus name Phylloscopus is from Ancient Greek phullon, "leaf", and skopos, "seeker" (from skopeo, "to watch"). The specific fuscatus is from Latin fuscus "dark". This warbler is strongly migratory and winters in South Asia and South-east Asia. It sometimes occurs in North America in Alaska, and has also occurred in California. This is an abundant bird of taiga bogs and wet meadows. The nest is built low in a bush, and 5–6 eggs are laid. Like most Old World warblers, this small passerine is insectivorous. The dusky warbler is prone to vagrancy as far as western Europe in October, despite a 3000 km distance from its breeding grounds. It has wintered in Great Britain. This is a warbler similar in size and shape to a chiffchaff. The adult has an unstreaked brown back and buff underparts. There is a prominent whitish supercilium, and the bill is fine and pointed. The sexes are identical, as with most warblers, but young birds are more olive-tinged above. Like most warblers, it is insectivorous, but will take other small food items, including berries. The song is a monotonous whistle, and the call is a harsh check. The call is often the first clue that this typically skulking species is present, away from the breeding grounds. An individual of this locally rare species was detected in an urban park and later ringed in December 2025 in Porto, Portugal

Trinidad Motmot
Momotus bahamensis
Fantastic bird with a long, racket-tipped tail found only in Trinidad and Tobago, where it is the only motmot. No other bird in the country shares its beautiful orange, green, and blue color pattern, and the black mask, breast spot, ruby eye, and large size make it truly unforgettable. Inhabits rainforest where it stays fairly low and usually well hidden, but occasionally may venture out into more open areas if there are large trees to perch in. Often gives a low-pitched “boo” or “boo-dip”, and sometimes a longer series when excited.
Namaqua Dove
Oena capensis
Tiny, long-tailed dove that is dark above and pale below. Male has a black mask and colorful bill. Female has a plain head and dark bill. In flight, the wings are bright rufous. Found in a variety of dry, open habitats at low and middle elevations. Voice is a long, two-parted “hoo-oooooo” which is repeated, sometimes endlessly. Distinguished from all other doves in its range by its small size and long-tailed shape.
Red-cheeked Parrot
Geoffroyus geoffroyi
Compact, bulky medium-sized green parrot of wet forests in Cape York and lowlands of New Guinea. Male has rose-pink face, violet crown, reddish upper mandible, and pale eye. Female has brown head, pale eye, and dusky bill; juvenile greenish overall with dark eye and orange bill that turns gray. In flight, bright pale blue underwings contrast with green belly and pink face in male. Much larger than tiny Double-eyed Fig-Parrot. Calls include high-pitched squeaks (similar to Australian King-Parrot) and repeated incisive squeaks.
