Hooded Siskin
Spinus magellanicus
Strikingly beautiful siskin found in woodland and grassland with scattered trees and usually highly gregarious; also sometimes associates with mixed-species flocks. Males have a black hood, wings, and tail, and are olive-yellow above and bright yellow below with large yellow wing patches. Females are duller and lack the black hood. The song is a long series of fast and squeaky notes; sometimes many males sing together.

其他鸟类
Cape Verde Storm-Petrel
Hydrobates jabejabe
Very similar to Band-rumped and Monteiro's Storm-Petrels, and closely related to those taxa. Breeds only on Cape Verde islands. There are no published field identification features to tell them apart. However it appears that its upperwing pattern is more contrasting and the rump patch is broader. Breeds in burrows and crevices on islands. Burrow calls are different from Band-rumped and Monteiro's by being extremely long, without pauses.
Sunda Collared-Dove
Streptopelia bitorquata
Medium-sized pinkish-brown dove with bright red eyes. “Collar” is black with a white upper margin. Favors mangroves and other open forests and forest edge, occasionally venturing into areas of human habitation; generally uncommon throughout much of its range. Gives a deep throaty purr.
Chilean Pigeon
Patagioenas araucana
Only large native pigeon in its range. Locally fairly common in temperate rainforest, farmland with wooded patches, and matorral with taller trees. Feeds from treetops to ground, sometimes in roadside fields; often in flocks. Plumage dark overall with narrow white hindneck collar, bright red feet, and broad pale gray tip on tail. Compare with the variable Rock Pigeon, which is usually around people and most have white underwings in flight unlike the dark grayish underwings on Chilean Pigeon.
