Secretary bird, Kenya by #wildographydudette Shayne McGuire
Frosty, pale bundle of joy. Nominate northern population is white with a shadowy black outlining of the cheek, bright blue-and-white striped wings, and a clean white breast. Central Asian and Central Chinese birds have a bright yellow patch on the breast. Prefers open wooded or shrubby areas, often in proximity to willow, birch, and various conifers. More common in open habitats in northern range. Forages actively, often within dense foliage, and can be surprisingly difficult to see well. Gives various high-pitched calls, including chips, trills, and rattles. Song is variable, and includes high whistles followed by a rattling stutter, as well as a series of cheery, repetitive two-note calls.

Petroica macrocephala, Tomtit. Small bird endemic to New Zealand. Favors mature native forests, but also uses scrub and exotic forest stands. Feeds in understory of forest but will come out in the open. Diet is small invertebrates, such as beetles, caterpillars, spiders, earthworms, and flies. Fruit is taken during the winter and autumn. Perches on trunks and branches before swooping down to take insect prey. Male song “ti-oly-oly-oly-ho,” often likened to a squeaky gate being opened and shut.
