Scaly-breasted Bulbul
Rubigula squamata
Handsome and unmistakable; olive-yellow wings, black head, white throat, and black-scaled white underparts. Predominantly found in hilly broadleaf evergreen forest, only occasionally and very localized in lowlands. Often undertakes local movements. Generally gleans fruits from mid-levels up into the canopy. Unlike many bulbuls, does not have a vibrant song: gives occasional high-pitched chirps, chips, whistles, and short trills.
分类信息
The scaly-breasted bulbul was originally described in the genus Ixos and later moved to Pycnonotus. Pycnonotus was found to be polyphyletic in recent molecular phylogenetic studies and three bulbul species, including the scaly-breasted bulbul, moved to Ixodia. Some authorities use Ixidia for the genus name because Ixodia was thought to be preoccupied.<p>Three subspecies are recognized:

African Tailorbird
Artisornis metopias
Tiny, short-tailed forest sprite with a rusty head, grayish breast, white throat, and long bill. Restricted to eastern Arc montane forest; population on the Uluguru Mountains is darker than others, and with more chestnut on the head. Pairs and small groups skulk in bracken and along other forest edge and undergrowth. Gives a strident and repeated “tzeeew-tzeeew-tzeew”, sometimes in duet with a short rising buzzy “tzier” or other buzzy notes.
White-eyed Stipplethroat
Epinecrophylla leucophthalma
Brown antwren of rainforest understory and midstory. Males are grayish brown, with black speckling on the throat, and whitish or buffy wing bars; females are buffy brown with buffy wing bars. Lacks the rufous back of some similar antwrens, and is fairly long-tailed for an antwren. Does not always have a white eye, with a variable eye color that is often brown in some areas. A common member of understory mixed species flocks, where searches for insects in curled dead leaves.
Flightless Cormorant
Nannopterum harrisi
Brown, aquatic bird with brilliant blue eyes. Tiny, stunted wings look almost comical and seem out-of-place on such a large bird. Endemic to Galápagos (where it is the only cormorant), and restricted to rocky coastlines of Isabela and Fernandina islands. Breeds throughout the year in small colonies. Often seen carrying large clumps of seaweed, which it uses to build its nest.
