Black-eared Ground-Thrush
Geokichla camaronensis
A rather small, secretive, variable ground-thrush with mostly orange-rufous underparts, a rusty-brown back, double white wingbars, and a distinctive pair of vertical stripes on the face. Western races are more richly colored than eastern ones. Rare, found in pairs in scattered locations in lowland and hill forest throughout the Congo Basin. Song is undescribed; alarm is a typical high-pitched thrush “ssreee.” All other ground-thrushes have a single vertical face stripe except the larger Gray Ground-Thrush, which is paler and more washed out on the face and breast than Black-eared.

Kentucky Warbler
Geothlypis formosa
Shy warbler of deciduous forest with thick understory. Often found in swampy areas or near slow-moving streams. Bright yellow below with olive back. Telltale black mask set off by yellow spectacles and throat. All plumages show face pattern; adult males boldest with black crown, females and immatures duller with grayish or olive crown. In the breeding season, more often heard than seen. Song is a series of 4-8 loud, rich, rolling notes "preet, preet, preet, preet." Can perch high when singing, otherwise stays near the ground.
Marsh Wren
Cistothorus palustris
Small, spunky wren with boldly patterned plumage. Look for dark cap, bright white eyebrow, and black-and-white stripes on back. Compared with similar Sedge Wren, Marsh is overall darker and more contrasty; especially note the solid brown shoulder patch and unstreaked crown. Habitat is also a good clue for identifying this wren: rarely strays far from water, especially extensive cattail marshes and rushes. Migrants are occasionally seen in wet weedy fields. Often difficult to see well as it skulks through reeds, but often perches conspicuously when singing. Variable song usually a gurgling trill with some introductory notes.
Crimson-collared Tanager
Ramphocelus sanguinolentus
Beautiful tanager of humid tropical lowlands. Favors evergreen forest edge and verdant second growth. Forages unobtrusively at all levels in trees and bushes, usually in pairs. Sexes alike: velvety black overall with a bright bluish-white bill and a glossy crimson collar and rump.
