<i>Accipiter</i> Genus of birds

Accipiter is a genus of birds of prey in the family Accipitridae. With 51 recognized species it is the most diverse genus in its family. Most species are called goshawks or sparrowhawks, although almost all New World species are simply known as hawks. They can be anatomically distinguished from their relatives by the lack of a procoracoid foramen. Two small and aberrant species usually placed here do possess a large procoracoid foramen and are also distinct as regards DNA sequence. They may warrant separation in the old genus Hieraspiza.

Yellow-green tanager Species of bird

The yellow-green tanager is a species of bird in the family Thraupidae. It is also known as the yellow-green bush tanager as it was formerly place in the genus Chlorospingus with other bush tanagers. The whole genus was moved to the New World sparrow family Passerellidae when bush tanagers were found to be more closely related to the genus Arremonops. However, recent molecular analysis has discovered that this species is neither a bush tanager or sparrow and the species returned to Thraupidae and placed in the genus Bangsia. It is found in Colombia and Ecuador. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forest and subtropical or tropical moist montane forest. It is threatened by habitat loss
