Pink-rumped Rosefinch

Carpodacus waltoni

Inhabits open areas such as edges and shrubby expanses. Male is streaky brown above and bright pink below with a similarly-colored brow that flares open towards the back. Averages paler and sandier brown on the back than Chinese and Himalayan Beautiful Rosefinches, and has a brighter and more extensive pink rump than either species. Female is brown and streaky and difficult to distinguish from other female rosefinches; look out for extensive and clear streaking all down the underparts, a weak pale brow, and a finely streaked crown. Usually gives sharp ticking and tinking calls.

Western Yellow Wagtail

Western Yellow Wagtail

Motacilla flava

Widespread wagtail, favoring wet meadows, marshland, grassy and muddy lakeshores. Occurs in fields and often near livestock during migration. Like other wagtails, walks on ground and pumps its long, white-sided tail up and down. Plumage highly variable, but breeding male wholly bright yellow below, with greenish back. Male head pattern varies regionally: in U.K. has greenish head with yellow eyebrow; in northern Europe head slaty gray overall; in central and southwest Europe head blue-gray with white eyebrow; striking white-headed birds in Mongolia and northwestern China. Individuals of several subspecies may winter together. Female and nonbreeding plumages drabber and paler, with ghosting of male patterns. Songs and calls vary between subspecies, but most give some form of buzzy “dzeerdzeer” or downslurrd “tzree.”

Little Flycatcher

Little Flycatcher

Muscicapa epulata

An easily overlooked petite bird of lowland forests that frequents edges, clearings, and even old farms. A typical small, grayish flycatcher with a white throat and belly, a streaky gray chest, black legs, and a mostly dark bill with a pale base. Similar to other African flycatchers, especially Yellow-legged Flycatcher, but note the black legs and streaky chest. Song is a jumble of high-pitched notes and buzzes, and the flight call is a high-pitched “zee.” 

Long-tufted Screech-Owl

Long-tufted Screech-Owl

Megascops sanctaecatarinae

Medium-sized screech-owl, very similar to Black-capped Screech Owl, but smaller and their ranges marginally overlap. Occurs in both brown and rufous morphs, both with yellow eyes. Found open woodland and forest edge, avoiding dense woodland. The song is a rolling trill, “rrrrrrr-ruh," lasting about 20 seconds.
