Red-crowned Malimbe

Malimbus coronatus

Adult female is an all glossy black forest weaver; adult male is similar but with a red oval patch on the crown that is not always easily seen. Juvenile is matte black with a chestnut crown. Scarce and patchily distributed, preferring the canopy of tall primary and secondary lowland and swamp forest. Often found in pairs. Vocalizations include a complex medley of weaver-like chittering “che-chur-chet” and electrical buzzing “dzrrrrrrr” and high-pitched downslurred “teooot-teoot” notes. Female cannot be safely separated from Black-throated Malimbe unless male is present.

Tiger Shrike

Tiger Shrike

Lanius tigrinus

Small, short-tailed shrike with a heavy-headed appearance. Found in lowland forests, edges, and parks. Male has an ash-gray head, an inky black mask, white underparts, and scaly chestnut wings. Female is less contrasting, with a patchy brown-and-gray crown, a smaller black mask, and black barring on the flanks and wings. Juveniles have brown heads and backs, and a brown-scaled belly; due to their lack of a mask, they have a large-eyed appearance. Juveniles can be similar to juvenile Bull-headed and Brown shrikes, but both of those species have faint but visible masks.

Black-faced Hawk

Black-faced Hawk

Leucopternis melanops

Smallish chunky hawk. Identifiable by size, shape, and prominent black mask contrasting with orange cere. Generally rare. Inhabits wet forests where it hunts from the mid-level to the ground; often perches well below canopy level. Takes relatively small prey, chiefly frogs and snakes. Superficially similar to White Hawk but much smaller with orange (not blue-gray) cere; unlike White Hawk, Black-faced tends not to soar for long periods and is less frequently seen than White Hawk.

Monk Parakeet

Monk Parakeet

Myiopsitta monachus

Medium-sized parakeet, bright lime green above with whitish face and chest, pinkish bill, and blue wingtips. Native to South America, where it is found in various open habitats, especially rural agricultural areas and towns. In introduced range, can be found locally in large cities. Builds enormous stick nests, often on large structures like cell phone towers and power poles; "Cliff Parakeet" of arid southcentral Bolivia manages to build, quite impressively, on sheer cliffs. Listen for its harsh, screeching voice.
