Madagascar Sparrowhawk

Compact, robust, and big-headed warbler. Males are striking with a black hood contrasting with whitish throat, gray back, and red eyering. Females duller with a gray hood, white throat, and buff body. Common in many typical Mediterranean habitats including tall bushes, open woodlands, gardens, coastal scrub, and plantations; also in oases, acacia woodlands, and scrubby desert in non-breeding range. Usually first detected by its song, a fast, angry-sounding rattling "ctret-tret-tret-tret-tret" or "tetwtweer-tik-tik-tik" with whispering in between. The call is a dry "tseck."

A classic small greenish-yellow white-eye species with bold white eye-rings. Common in more humid habitats throughout New Caledonia; mostly replaced by Silvereye in drier and more disturbed areas, though the two can be found together. Green-backed is plainer overall than Silverye, without any contrasting plumage apart from the eyering. Has a typical white-eye vocal repertoire, with a high-pitched wheezy warbling song and high-pitched piercing quavering call notes.

Medium-sized antpitta described to science in 2020. It inhabits high elevation cloud forest along the east slope of the Andes in central Peru. Plumage is mostly chestnut brown with a pale patch on the belly. It does not show a distinct eyering or any gray in the crown, which helps to separate it from similar antpittas in the region. Voice is also very useful; songs include a single whistle repeated every four to five seconds as well as a quick, descending series. Usually stays low inside tangles where it is hard to see.
