Santa Marta Wren
Troglodytes monticola
Highly endangered wren restricted to grassy and scrubby areas above tree line high up in Colombia’s Santa Marta Mountains. Reaching its habitat involves a multi-day camping expedition, and it cannot be seen in the commonly birded areas lower down the mountains. Rich coloration and heavily barred underparts separate it from House Wren, the only other similar species that could possibly occur in its lofty domain. Song is a descending, tinkling series of notes.

Banggai Crow
Corvus unicolor
An entirely black, short-tailed, pale-eyed crow confined to the island of Peleng in the Banggai Islands. Occurs in groups within canopy of montane forest. Tail just barely extends beyond wingtips when perched. Shorter-tailed and shorter-billed than Slender-billed Crow, and shows a pale eye, unlike that species. Voice also differs. Song is a “whee-kew-kew-kew,” with a rasping note starting the series and higher-pitched, ascending whistles following.
Least Pygmy-Owl
Glaucidium minutissimum
Very small rufous owl with white spots flecked on rich brown head, a white belly streaked with rufous and white spots on the back. Similar to Ferruginous Pygmy-Owl, which has a streaked rather than spotted head and a longer tail. Found in the canopy of humid forest and forest edges. The song is a series of two-three high-pitched whistles.
Tahiti Swallow
Hirundo tahitica
Handsome swallow endemic to Tahiti and Moorea. Adult is iridescent blue above and smoky gray below, with an orangish throat and forehead. Could potentially be confused with Tahiti Swiftlet, but note brighter coloration and different body structure. Occasionally seen close to coastal cities, but more frequently encountered in “wilder” native forest habitats. Sometimes perches on telephone lines.
