Keel-billed Motmot

True to its name, almost always found in rocky areas, especially on rocky slopes. Pale grayish wren with rather long, slightly decurved bill. Also look for fine salt-and-pepper speckling on upperparts, light buffy wash on sides, and black-and-white bars on undertail coverts. Southernmost birds, especially in Honduras, are more heavily marked. Often perches conspicuously and bobs up and down. Compare with Canyon Wren, which can be found in similar habitats. Rock Wren is paler overall and lacks rich rufous tones. Listen for ringing song and calls.

A large and rather parrot-billed Galápagos finch. Bill is about as long as it is deep, with a very round upper edge and slightly curved lower edge. Male has a black hood and bill, a sooty back, and a yellowish belly with dark streaks. Female is tan with a pale bill, a whitish or yellowish belly, and brown streaks on the underparts. Very similar to Large Tree-Finch, which is smaller and smaller-billed. Most likely to be encountered in forest at middle elevations on the larger islands. Not present on the islands of Española, Genovesa, and Santa Fé.

Small jet-black seabird of coastal areas of the Pacific. Breeding plumage is black with bold white wing patch and bright red legs. Plumage changes dramatically in winter to whitish overall with dusky markings on body and black wingtips. Often found in shallower coastal waters than other alcids and regularly seen from shore. Dives to hunt for fish and invertebrates. Nests in crevice or burrow in a cliff or around large rocks.
