South Georgia Shag
Leucocarbo georgianus
Typical “blue-eyed shag”, endemic to the South Georgia, South Orkney, and South Sandwich Islands, as well as Shag Rocks. Striking adult has the bicolored coloration, yellow caruncles, and white shoulder bar typical of that group; also a small stiff crest during the early breeding season. Juvenile is much drabber, being simply dark above and white below. Almost identical to Antarctic Shag, but ranges do not overlap. Breeds on rocky cliffs and ledges, as well as tussock-covered slopes. Tends to forage close to the islands, but may disperse to find open water in winter months.

Neblina Metaltail
Metallura odomae
Scarce high Andean hummingbird found only in remote areas of southern Ecuador and northern Peru. Male is green with a rosy throat and a white dot behind the eye; tail is green below and may appear bronzy or bluish above depending on the light. Female is similar, but mottled with white below and has a smaller, incomplete throat patch. Inhabits stunted forest and scrub near treeline.
Buff-throated Apalis
Apalis rufogularis
Plain apalis with dark gray upperparts and pale underparts. The head pattern of males varies geographically. In the northwestern part of the range, the head and breast are completely dark. In the rest of the range, the throat and breast are pale. Found in the canopy of low- and middle-elevation humid forest. Usually in pairs or small groups, which will join mixed-species flocks. The main vocalization is a rough, quickly repeated “chree” which can be accompanied by a piping call. Similar to Gray Apalis, but has a buffy wash on the underparts.
Brown Barbet
Caloramphus fuliginosus
Unique, strange-looking barbet with a massive bill and bright red legs. Brown above and whitish below, with a dirty orangish throat and upper chest. Males have a dark gray bill, while females have a pale one. Moves in fairly active and frequently vocal groups in the canopy of lowland and foothill forests, giving extremely high thin squeaks.
