Sulawesi Scops-Owl

A large, uniform rufous-brown babbler with conspicuous orange bill and feet, and a beady yellow eye. Highly gregarious, usually encountered in noisy flocks within wet rainforest understory. Orange-billed Babbler differs from the similar Yellow-billed Babbler in having a rufous body and orange legs and bill. Frequently vocal, giving a variety of rasping, chattering, and squeaking notes, grating calls, as well as laughterlike noises.

Small but rather stocky and stout-billed petrel of subtropical eastern Pacific and Humboldt Current; not seen from mainland. One of several similar species, Masatierra is best identified by gray head and collar at sides of neck, rather stout bill, and plain grayish tail without a black tip. Much smaller than Juan Fernandez Petrel with quick wheeling flight unlike more easy and less hurried-looking flight of Juan. Also compare with Stejneger’s and Cook’s Petrels.

Retiring dove of forest floor, heard much more frequently than seen. Like other members of the genus, can be found walking quietly on shady roadsides and trails, especially early and late in the day. Not easily told by sight from White-tipped Dove, which occurs alongside Caribbean in Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico. Best feature is white face and pale bluish nape of Caribbean Dove. Also compare Gray-headed Dove. In flight, all species show white tail corners and rusty on underwings.
