White-bibbed Antbird

A plain, pale courser with black lines behind the eyes that make a “V” when seen from behind. In flight, the wings are partially black with a white trailing edge. Found in dry savanna, thornscrub, and desert. Usually in small groups, which tend to flee from disturbance on foot. Very similar to Cream-colored Courser, but browner and shorter-winged, with partially pale rather than completely black underwings in flight. Fairly similar to Temminck’s Courser, but paler overall, lacks chestnut in the crown, and has a paler underwing. Calls include a quiet “whit” and a louder “trow.”

A small brown songbird with a long tail, often raised and fanned to reveal white outer tail feathers. Largely dull brown with a rufous flash in the wing, a white throat, and a dull buff underside. A montane species, found singly or in pairs, often within mixed-species flocks. Distinguished from Arafura Fantail by plain underside, lacking a black chest. Song recalls a toy trumpet, “cher-wer-where,” rising on the last note. Also gives agitated chattering notes, a wet “wit,” and a sharp “pip.”

Dark, compact, medium-sized falcon. Blue-gray on the back, black on the head, and rufous below. The adults have faint or no streaking below, while immatures have broad streaks. Flight is fast, direct, and powerful. Most active at dawn and dusk. Local and uncommon in a wide variety of habitats, including forest, forest edge, woodland, and savanna. Sometimes hunts over very open habitats like grassland. Gives “kwe” and “keek” calls. Similar in coloration to Taita Falcon, but has a rufous throat and a longer tail. Separated from Eurasian Hobby by the completely rufous underparts.
