Green-capped Eremomela

Uncommon bird found in high-elevation forest in the eastern Andes of northern Peru. Adult is mostly rich chestnut with a pale face, forehead, chin, and bill. Juvenile is heavily spotted and scaled. Inhabits cloud forest with abundant bamboo, and usually first detected by voice. Song is a rapid series of shrill, raspy notes, similar to a hornero.

Distinctive honeyeater found in coastal heath and gardens. Underparts white with black streaking. Back, wings, and head black with yellow panels on tail and wings. Distinguished from the similar White-cheeked Honeyeater by presence of two smaller white patches on side of face, rather than one large patch. Feeds mostly on nectar but supplements its diet with insects. Often found near flowering Banksia.

Bright yellowish leaf warbler of forest canopy. Like Blyth’s and Claudia’s leaf warblers, Hartert’s has the habit of flicking its wings alternately; compare to Kloss’s and Davison’s leaf warblers, which flick both wings at the same time. Bright olive above with a broad yellow brow and yellow-suffused white belly. Crown stripe and broad, orange-based bill distinguish this species from the similarly sized and shaped Arctic Warbler and Pale-legged Leaf Warbler. Breeds in foothill and submontane broadleaf forests, winters in various wooded habitats at lower elevations, including forest edge. Song is a sweet, high-pitched “wit-wichichew-wichichew-wichichew.” Call is a quiet “wit” or “wichichew.”
