African Stonechat
Saxicola torquatus
Small, chunky robin-like bird. Males are black and white, with a variable amount of rufous on the underparts. Ethiopian population has a black chest and no red. Females are dark brown on the back and pale below. Both sexes show a variable white wing patch. Found in a wide variety of open habitats, including grassland, heath, marsh, and scrub. Perches up conspicuously. Song is a quick jumbled mix of musical and raspy notes. Similar to the migratory Whinchat, but lacks conspicuous white eye-stripe, and shows white on the rump rather than the base of the tail.

Greater Yellow-headed Vulture
Cathartes melambrotus
Widespread and common vulture in lowland rainforest. Head may not appear yellow unless seen at close range. Best identified by steady flight with wings held at a slight dihedral. Similar to Turkey Vulture, but has broader wings which it holds flatter and does not teeter from side to side as often. Occurs in rainforest, cities, and agricultural areas.
Grenada Dove
Leptotila wellsi
A somewhat large, chunky dove of dry scrub woodlands where it is typically found foraging on ground. Its plain plumage, the lack of white on the wings, and the very limited white on its tail, distinguish it from other doves on Grenada. Its song is a drawn out low, plaintive “Hooooooo,” loudest near start. Critically endangered.
Dusky Babbler
Turdoides tenebrosa
A very dark babbler with a pale eye. Found very locally in areas of moist woodland with thick undergrowth, almost always in small groups that feed by hopping across the ground. Much more elusive and skulking than most babblers. Similar to Black-lored Babbler, but Dusky Babbler is much darker, and there is virtually no overlap in range. Usually located by the raspy babbling call, typically given by a whole group in chorus.
