Black-headed Myzomela
Myzomela melanocephala
A distinctive myzomela with a relatively long downcurved bill and an entirely black face and throat forming a “mask.” Body yellowish and wings darker olive-green. Common in all habitats. Similar to Olive-backed Sunbird, but has a dark face and a pale throat, and is much duller yellow below. Voice is a sweet, high-pitched “chip-chip.”
Kashmir Nutcracker
Nucifraga multipunctata
A jay-like bird with a long pointed bill, a black cap, and white spots all over. Very similar to Eurasian Nutcracker, but the Kashmir Nutcracker appears whiter overall with more white on the back, underparts, undertail, and tail tips. Forages in conifers for nuts and seeds, occasionally descending to the ground. Calls include loud, harsh “kraaa” notes.
Blue-spotted Wood-Dove
Turtur afer
Small, pale, pretty dove. Bill is red with a yellow tip. The small dark iridescent spots on the wing are blue, though this is hard to see. In flight, the wings show rufous patches, and the tail has white tips and a black band. Found in a variety of thick, moist habitats, including lush savannah, forest edge, thickets, and scrub. Song is a long, slowly accelerating series of hollow “hoo” notes. Separated from other wood-doves by its red-and-yellow bill. Generally found in moister habitats than other wood-doves.
