The slaty-crowned antpitta or slate-crowned antpitta (Grallaricula nana) is a species of bird placed in the family Grallariidae.

It is found in Colombia, Ecuador, Guyana, Peru, and Venezuela. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist montane forests. Its preferences include relatively dense second-growth forests and stands of bamboo, so it is threated by deforestation in the Andes. [3] Nests of this species often rely on bamboo twigs. [4]

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Asian desert warbler</span> Species of bird

The Asian desert warbler is a typical warbler which breeds in the deserts of central and western Asia and the extreme east of Europe, and migrating to similar habitats in southwestern Asia and the far northeast of Africa in winter. Until recently it was considered conspecific with the African desert warbler, but is now given specific status. The two are still each other's closest living relatives, and their relationships to other typical warblers are not clear. They may be fairly close to the common whitethroat; particularly, female whitethroats look much like a richly coloured Asian desert warbler. But it seems that all these three taxa are fairly basal members of the genus.
