Brown-capped Babbler

A pretty canary with an olive-green back, a well-marked head, a yellow breast and rump, and a white belly. Males are brighter overall and unstreaked below, while females are duller with thick streaks on the underparts. Found in dry and moderately moist savanna, woodland, and cultivated areas, often in small flocks. Similar to Yellow-fronted Canary, but separated by the white belly and the less boldly marked face. Can look similar to Yellow-crowned Canary, but found in different habitat and has a more heavily marked face. Found in the same habitat as grosbeak-canaries, but smaller and darker-billed. The song consists of musical whistles and trills, sometimes given in a continuous stream and sometimes divided into distinct phrases. 

Small plain bird with thin bill. Upperparts gray, underparts grayish or whitish, with distinctive black-and-white tail pattern (best seen in flight), thin pale eyering, and red eye. Juvenile lacks red eye and has yellow gape (base of bill). Inhabits woodlands in drier, inland regions of Australia, where it is the only gerygone.

Remarkable odd-looking diving duck with a long tail, often held cocked. Males have a striking white face and black crown that contrasts with their large blue bill and chestnut body. Female and juveniles have a darker brown bill, more extensive dark crown and pale cheek stripe, similar to Ruddy Ducks. Silent and rarely flies. Rare and local. Usually found in shallow, open water with dense aquatic plants.
