Yellow-collared Lovebird

Warm-colored thrush, with bright reddish-brown tones above, buffy breast, and white belly. Spots are indistinct and washed out, concentrating on upper breast. Beautiful song is cascading spiral of flute-like notes. Found in a variety of wooded habitats, often favoring wetter areas. Winters in South and Central America; very rare in the U.S. after October, unlike Hermit Thrush.

Distinctive black, gray, and white flycatcher of rainforest midstory and canopy. Medium-sized flycatcher with a small bushy crest; white underneath, gray above with a black head, wings, and tail. Found in mature rainforest and forest edges, especially around water. Its calls are quiet but make them much easier to find; listen for a musical “pew, pip.”

Classic, small warbler with greenish upperparts and a yellow throat and eye stripe. Varies geographically: can show a reddish or greenish crown. Reddish-crowned birds are easily identified, but greenish-crowned birds can be confused with other warblers. Yellow-throated can still be known by the contrast between its grayish belly and bright yellow bib. Found in moist forest, mostly montane forest away from South Africa. Feeds actively in the midstory and canopy. Pretty song is variable but consists of up-and-down series of whistled notes.
