Salvadori's Serin

Crithagra xantholaema

A relatively distinctive gray-brown seedeater with a unique black-and-yellow badge on its upper chest. The yellow rump is conspicuous in flight. Found very locally in dry woodland and savanna, favoring rocky valleys. Similar to Yellow-throated Serin, but there is no known overlap in range, and Salvadori’s is easily separated by the black chest band. The song, consisting of twitters and whistles, is lower-pitched and slower-paced than that of a typical seedeater.

Striated Bulbul

Striated Bulbul

Alcurus striatus

A well-marked bulbul with a bushy crest. Olive-green above with a pale yellow throat and extensive white streaks on a dark breast and pale belly. A foothill and submontane specialist found in broadleaf forests, both evergreen and deciduous. Forages in the forest canopy, often in the company of other bulbuls. Somewhat similar to Mountain Bulbul, but has a bushier, more erect crest, darker upperparts, and obvious streaking on the underparts. Generally not very vocal; gives various chirps, warbles, and chips, often strung together into a loose “song” with short, distinct phrases.

Small Pratincole

Small Pratincole

Glareola lactea

Small bird that resembles a combination of a dove, a swallow, and a plover. Soft gray-brown with a tan wash on the throat and black lores. Black-and-white wing pattern prominent in flight. Flight agile and erratic, resembling a bat or swallow; frequently flies in flocks at dusk. Favors rocky or sandy islands in rivers, but can also be found in marshes, estuaries, and lakesides. Distinguished from other pratincoles in range by smaller size and gray plumage. Calls are a high rolling “chirrit!”, reminiscent of terns.

Pink-spotted Fruit-Dove

Pink-spotted Fruit-Dove

Ptilinopus perlatus

A common fruit-dove from the canopy of lowland, foothill forest and disturbed areas. Yellow-green cap with white band from the bill around the back of the neck, orange-brown chest and distinctive pink spots on the dark green wing. Congregates in fruiting fig trees. Similar to the eastern race of Ornate Fruit-Dove, but Pink-spotted lacks the dark red shoulder wedge and has a green tail tip. Call, a slow, rising hoot, or series of shorter “woop” notes accelerating and trailing off.
