Streaked Weaver

Relatively plain and unmarked green-pigeon with a long pointed tail. Males have a faint orange blush on the chest, though this can be hard to notice. Note blue-green bill and “goggles” in both sexes. Completely unmarked dark olive-green wings separate this species from other green-pigeons within its range; Wedge-tailed Green-Pigeon can be similar, but note that species’ much more thickset build and shorter tail. Endemic to the hill forests of Sumatra and western Java. Like other green-pigeons, gathers in fruiting trees. Gives rising and falling series of high-pitched coos, often with a hiccuping or sobbing quality.

A medium-sized, emerald-green parakeet endemic to the Antipodes Islands, including smaller outer islands. Recognized by its distinctive bright red crown and small red patches behind the eyes. Green body plumage has a slight yellowish tint. Males are larger than females. Most commonly found in areas of low vegetation and open areas along the coast. Forms small flocks in autumn and winter. Calls are a distinctive parakeet chatter. Distinguished from Red-crowned Parakeet by lack of range overlap and the more yellow-green body plumage. Easily distinguished from larger, all-green Antipodes Island Parakeet.

Small rainforest flycatcher that ranges from central Panama through western Colombia and northwestern Ecuador. Male is mostly gray, but female is clad mainly in shades of olive and yellow. Male’s dark wings with contrasting white wingbars help to identify him. Female is very similar to Forest Elaenia, but tends to have darker wings, brighter back, and cleaner breast; all of these are hard to see in the field and some birds cannot be identified with certainty. Note that Choco Elaenia is found only west of the Andes and does not overlap with Amazonian Elaenia or Gray-headed Elaenia. Typical song is a descending, accelerating trill. Pairs typically stay high in the forest, and often follow mixed species flocks.
