Javan White-eye

Chunky, small bird with short bill and tail. Male blue black above and on throat, bright yellow below and on forecrown. Female olive above and yellow below with grayish-white breast. Both sexes show extensive white on underside of tail. Often in pairs, with male perching and singing from tops of trees. Common in dry to humid woodlands. Common call consists of two clear, whistled notes, “tee dee.” Male distinguished from other euphonias by forecrown color and size, along with color of throat and underparts; male plumage identical to Purple-throated Euphonia. Female distinguished by presence of gray-white color in breast, along with color of undertail coverts and white underside to tail.

Medium-sized antshrike with a rather small head, a short robust bill, and a long tail. Males are black with white spots and an entirely black tail while females are black with cinnamon spots and barring throughout. Mostly seen in pairs in the dense understory of humid forests closer to bamboo, can be active but hard to see. The song is a loud and clear series of ascending and descending notes.

Fairly common small game bird of open brushy woodland and overgrown weedy fields in tropical lowlands and foothills of northwest Mexico, sometimes near human settlement. Occurs in coveys for much of year, usually of 5–15 birds, which often feed along quiet roadsides early and late in the day. Flushes explosively with shrieks when disturbed. Both sexes have a short, upright fan-shaped crest and bold white spotting on the belly. No other quail in most of its range and habitat; endemic.
