Rapa Fruit-Dove

A small flycatcher with a rufous throat, a white belly, and dark gray upperparts and head. Female is duller below, with a pale line between bill and eye and a dark brown back, wings, and rump. Singles or pairs inhabit dense forest understory of lowlands and hills. Restricted to Sulawesi. Differs from the larger Sulawesi Blue Flycatcher in its white belly and rufous chin. Absence of white eyebrow and darker upperside separate it from Snowy-browed Flycatcher. Gray head and absence of orange between bill and eye distinguish it from Lompobattang Flycatcher. Song is a very thin, high-pitched whistle, “tsee-tsoo” or “tsee-tsoo-tsee.” Also gives chattering calls.

A rare small pipit found in a limited region of the East African coast, where it is very local in coastal forest. Rich rufous-brown above and white below with bold streaking on the breast. Inconspicuous, spending most of its time on the ground, although it will perch in trees, especially when disturbed. Found in forest, like Tree Pipit, but more richly colored on the back and paler on the face and belly. The call is a high-pitched, descending whistle; the song, given in flight, consists of a simple series of whistles. 

A commonly encountered small hummingbird with a glittering green back, violet-blue throat and breast, green flanks, and a white stripe down the breast. The bill is slightly curved. Found in open and semiopen habitats such as forest edges, savanna, woodland, parks and plantations.
