The sharp-shinned hawk is a small hawk, with males being the smallest hawks in the United States and Canada, but with the species averaging larger than some Neotropical species, such as the tiny hawk. The taxonomy is far from resolved, with some authorities considering the southern taxa to represent three separate species: white-breasted hawk, plain-breasted hawk, and rufous-thighed hawk. The American Ornithological Society keeps all four variations conspecific.
The mountain buzzard is a bird of prey that lives in montane forests in East Africa, it and the forest buzzard of southern Africa were, until recently, considered to be a single species.
The rufous-tailed hawk is a species of bird of prey in the family Accipitridae.
The mountain bulbul is a songbird species in the bulbul family, Pycnonotidae. It is often placed in Hypsipetes, but seems to be closer to the type species of the genus Ixos, the Sunda bulbul. It is found in Southeast Asia and is not considered a threatened species by the IUCN. It is named after British East India Company Surgeon John McClelland.
The Bahia tyrannulet is a species of bird in the family Tyrannidae. It is endemic to the state of Bahia in eastern Brazil. It is the most second recently described bird in the genus Phylloscartes after the cinnamon-faced tyrannulet which was described two years later. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist montane forests. It is threatened by habitat loss.
Phylloscartes is a genus of small birds in the family Tyrannidae. They are found in wooded habitats of Central and South America. They mainly feed on small arthropods, and most commonly take part in mixed species flocks. The mottled-cheeked tyrannulet is among the commonest birds in its range, but several other species are rare and threatened. Their plumage is predominantly green, yellow, white and grey, and many have contrasting facial patterns and wing-bars. They have thin, pointed bills, and relatively long tails. Most frequently cock their tail, perch relatively horizontally and are very active.
The Alagoas tyrannulet is a species of bird in the family Tyrannidae. It is endemic to the Atlantic Forest in eastern Brazil. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist lowland forest. It is threatened by habitat loss.
The Serra do Mar tyrannulet is a small species of bird in the family Tyrannidae. It is endemic to humid montane forest in the Serra do Mar in south-eastern Brazil. More likely confused with the short-tailed and pale-eyed hangnest tody-tyrant than other members of the genus Phylloscartes, its bright olive-green upperparts contrast strongly with the grey underparts. It is generally uncommon and threatened by habitat loss.
The southern bristle tyrant is a species of passerine bird in the family Tyrannidae. It is found in Brazil, Paraguay and northeastern Argentina. This species is sometimes placed in the genus Phylloscartes. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forest and subtropical or tropical moist montane forest. It is threatened by habitat loss.
The rufous-lored tyrannulet is a species of bird in the family Tyrannidae. It is found in the Venezuelan Coastal Range. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist montane forests.
The Panamanian tyrannulet or yellow-green tyrannulet is a species of bird in the family Tyrannidae. It is endemic to Panama. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests.
The Ecuadorian tyrannulet is a species of bird in the family Tyrannidae. It is found in Ecuador and northern Peru. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist montane forests.
The black-fronted tyrannulet is a species of bird in the family Tyrannidae. It is found in the tepuis of southern Venezuela. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist montane forests.
The spectacled bristle tyrant is a species of passerine bird in the family Tyrannidae. This species is sometimes placed in the genus Phylloscartes.
Oustalet's tyrannulet is a species of bird in the family Tyrannidae. It is endemic to Brazil. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests. It is becoming rare due to habitat loss.
The São Paulo tyrannulet is a species of bird in the family Tyrannidae. It is found in the southern Atlantic Forest. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forest and subtropical or tropical moist montane forest. It is threatened by habitat loss.
The Minas Gerais tyrannulet is a species of bird in the family Tyrannidae. It is endemic to Brazil. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical dry forests. It is threatened by habitat loss.
The rufous-browed tyrannulet is a species of bird in the family Tyrannidae.
The bay-ringed tyrannulet is a species of bird in the family Tyrannidae. It is found in the southern Atlantic Forest.
The olive-green tyrannulet is a species of bird in the family Tyrannidae, the tyrant flycatchers. It is found in the Guianas of Suriname, French Guiana, and eastern Guyana, with the Essequibo River; also northeast Brazil, in the northeast Amazon Basin of Pará state, and Amapá.
