Senegal Eremomela

A small songbird with a bold white eye-ring, dark eyes, a green back and forehead, a yellow throat and base to undertail, and a white belly. Groups and pairs roam woods, forest edges and patches, gardens, cultivated spaces, and scrub. Confined to lowlands of southeast Sulawesi. Occurs at lower elevations than Warbling White-eye, and differs from it in the dark eye and green forehead. Separated from Lemon-bellied White-eye by the white belly. Gives a slow-paced, high-pitched descending tinkling song, “chi-chiwit-chit-cher-cher.” Also high “zit” notes.

A mid-sized woodpecker with a yellow-green back and gray underparts. The crown is red in males and plain gray in females. Can show a small orange or bright red patch on the center of the belly. Found in a wide variety of habitats including savanna, woodland, gardens, farmland, mangroves, forest edge, and gallery forest. The main call is an agitated series of rising “k-k-kree” calls. The range overlaps slightly with the very similar Mountain Gray Woodpecker. Distinguished by the barring on the wing and undertail and the lack of a large, deep red belly patch.

Very local, long-tailed, and social parrot of mountains endemic to northeast Mexico. Feeds in pine and pine-oak forests and adjacent semiopen areas with orchards and flowering century plants. Nests colonially in tall cliff-face "apartments." Usually found in flocks of 10–100 birds, less often in scattered pairs; often located by its far-carrying, raucous laughing calls. No similar species in its range; note the dark red forehead, small red shoulder patches.
