Papuan Spinetail
Mearnsia novaeguineae
A small, short-tailed swift over lowland forest and open areas. Stubby-body, pale belly contrasting with short, dark, square tail. Distinguished from other swiftlets by distinctive cut-out in the base of the hindwing and also translucent base to the flight feathers. Less soaring and more ‘twitchy’ flight than other swiftlet species. Voice, typical swiftlike chips, screeches and chatters.
Scrub Euphonia
Euphonia affinis
Tiny finch of tropical lowlands and foothills, especially in drier areas. Occurs from eastern Mexico to Costa Rica, where it is found in open woodland, forest edge, and clearings with trees. Usually in pairs, sometimes small groups that associate readily with other euphonias, especially when feeding at mistletoe. Male has black head and throat with yellow forehead patch; female rather drab, but lacks vested appearance of female Yellow-throated Euphonia, which is slightly larger.
Pied Stilt
Himantopus leucocephalus
Large black-and-white shorebird with long straight, needle-like bill, and very long pink legs. Note black hind-neck. Juveniles lacks the black hind-neck and has a dark gray crown. Occurs in small groups or in immense flocks, usually close to water. Makes dog-like yapping calls (think Chihuahua).
