Black-tailed Oriole

Oriolus percivali

Old World oriole with mostly yellow plumage, a black hood, and a red bill. Found in montane forest. Often in pairs, sometimes joining mixed flocks with other bird species. Song is a series of slurred, liquid whistles. Very similar to African Black-headed Oriole, but usually separated by habitat. Plumage differences include the black, as opposed to olive-green, center of the tail, and less white edging on the feathers along the middle of the wing.

分类信息

The mountain oriole has been considered by some authorities to be a subspecies of the black-headed oriole or the black-winged oriole. Alternate names for the mountain oriole include the black-tailed oriole, montane oriole and Percival's oriole.

Nesocharis shelleyi

A unique, beautiful finch of forest, forest edge, and farmlands, found only in the highlands of Cameroon, Equatorial Guinea, and extreme southwest Nigeria. Surprisingly compact, with a short, stubby tail and a thick bluish bill. Shows a black head, a yellow-green back and wings, and gray undersides. Males also have a yellow-green chest. Feeds acrobatically on small branches, ferns, and other vegetation in the understory and sometimes higher, alone or in small groups. Calls are high pitched “siew” notes, and the song is a sequence of high-pitched buzzy notes.
