Black-fronted Ground-Tyrant

A fairly small, long-tailed bird of montane forest and edge. Uniform dark, slaty-gray with blackish face and wing. White throat, short brow and mark behind the eye, dotted wing bars and tail tip. Fairly tame as the name suggests. Forages actively like other fantails, with tail cocked, fanned and wings drooped. Sometimes joins mixed flocks. Similar to Northern Fantail, but Friendly is smaller with dotted white wing-bar and white stripe behind the eye. Song, a slightly metallic, jumbled series of high-pitch notes.

Smaller and paler than Eurasian Eagle-Owl but with a more accentuated facial pattern and paler yellow eyes. Also note more limited streaking on the underparts than Eurasian Eagle-Owl. Favors arid habitats. Song and call is higher-pitched than Eurasian Eagle-Owl.

Tiny, nondescript, gray bird with a small, sharp bill. Most notable for its lack of distinct marks or coloration! The underparts vary geographically, from whitish to rich buff. Found in savanna and broadleaved woodland. Usually in small, active flocks. Most common vocalization is a series of high-pitched “tsu-tsu-tsii” triplets. Similar to Mouse-colored and Southern penduline-tits, but paler below and browner above than Mouse-colored, and lacks the black facial marks of Southern.
