Kenya Rufous Sparrow
Passer rufocinctus
A typical sparrow with a striped back, a gray crown and nape, and a dark bib. The rufous rump is conspicuous in flight. The sexes are similar, though males have a bolder black bib and more rufous on the face. Both sexes have a pale eye. Generally common in savanna, in cultivated areas, and around human habitation. Very similar to Shelley’s Rufous Sparrow, but not known to overlap in range, and separated by the pale eye. The call is a cheerful “chirp”, similar to that of other sparrows.
Taiwan Barbet
Psilopogon nuchalis
Highly distinctive Taiwan endemic, bright green with a rainbow-hued face in red, blue, and yellow. Inhabits forests, parks, and gardens from lowlands into montane regions. Bold for a barbet, occasionally perching in treetops. Sometimes forms flocks. Vocalizations include frog-like croaking or bubbling notes and hollow bubbling hoots.
Small Tree-Finch
Camarhynchus parvulus
A small Galápagos finch with a dainty bill. Bill is slightly curved on both upper and lower edges, and longer than it is deep. Male has a black hood, gray-brown upperparts, and a pale belly. Female is tan with whitish to buffy underparts. Both sexes have a variable amount of streaking on the breast. Bill is black on breeding male and orange on female and non-breeding male. Bill is smaller and less curved compared to other tree-finches. Female is similar to female Small Ground-Finch, but on that species the lower edge of bill is straight--not curved. Found on most of the larger islands, but absent from Española, Genovesa, and Marchena. Inhabits a wide range of habitats and elevations.
