Supertramp Fantail

A large, richly colored greenbul, yellow-olive on the back and yellow below with a red eye. Found locally in humid forest at middle elevations, usually in groups, at middle levels of the forest and in the sub-canopy. More colorful than other greenbuls that overlap in range. Similar to Prigogine’s Greenbul, but distinguished by the lack of gray on the face and lack of white on the chin. Named for its exuberant song, several chattering calls that ascend and accelerate into a bubbly, explosive sequence, usually given by multiple birds together. 

A somewhat small woodland and scrubland bird that moves rather deliberately as it feeds on fruits and flowers and the occasional insect. Brilliant male is a swirl of yellows, oranges, and reds with black-and-white striped head; unlike any other Jamaican bird. Female has a similar pattern but drab colors. Call is a thin high-pitched “tsee” given singularly or in a rapid series.

An attractive, medium-sized, long-tailed raptor. Mostly gray with a black uppertail and wingtips. There is yellow bare skin at the base of the bill, and the legs are red. Immature birds are mostly brown. Found in dry savanna and thornscrub, alone or in pairs. Similar to Dark Chanting-Goshawk; adults separated by their yellow facial skin, and both adults and immatures by their white rather than barred gray rump patch, which is obvious in flight. The calls include a long squeal and a chanting series of “pwek” notes.
