Blue-winged Leafbird
Chloropsis moluccensis
Medium-sized forest-dweller that is often seen in pairs or with mixed flocks. Male has a yellow tinge to the head and a triangular black patch with a deep blue center extending down from between the eye and the base of the bill. Female is green all over with a small blue throat smudge. Both sexes have vivid blue highlights on the wings, which help to distinguish it from other similar leafbirds in its range such as Greater Green and Lesser Green Leafbirds, both of which have plain green wings. Vocalizations very varied, including a rather slow, simple song consisting of whistles and warbles, a repetitive and strident “weet weet weet”, and a sweet “wi’weep.”

Chestnut-rumped Woodcreeper
Xiphorhynchus pardalotus
Medium-sized rufous-brown bird of lowland forests. Occurs mainly in understory and midstory of tall rainforest, often with mixed-species flocks. Also occurs in premontane forests in the tepui region. Climbs up tree trunks and along large branches, probing into crevices for insects. Similar to Buff-throated Woodcreeper, but slightly smaller and shorter-billed with richer coloration on throat giving overall darker appearance.
Usambara Double-collared Sunbird
Cinnyris usambaricus
A medium-sized sunbird. Males are colorful, green and red, and females drab olive-brownish. Males have yellow shoulder tufts that are usually hidden. Found in montane forest, forest edge, and gardens. Similar to other double-collared sunbirds, but separated by range. Female is plainer than female Banded and Amani Sunbirds, with a longer bill. The calls include “tsik” and “tseet” notes, and the song is a long, rapid jumble.
Principe Scops-Owl
Otus bikegila
Small, richly colored owl with small ear tufts. There are two morphs: one rich rufous and the other pale gray-brown. Found in lowland rainforest on the island of Principe. The vocalization is a series of hollow “klow” notes, similar to those of African Scops-Owl, but delivered much more quickly, about one note / second. Easily identified, as the only other owl on Principe is the much larger Barn Owl.
