The White-cheeked Pintail is another caribbean speciality, although it is also fund on South America and the Galapagos Islands. Like most southern ducks the sexes are similar, so I don't know if this is a male or female.

The Spiny-cheeked Honeyeater is heard more often than it is seen. The jerky, musical call of the species has been described as a “liquid and guttural gurgling jumble”, which may stop abruptly, almost as though the bird has run out of breath, and then it suddenly starts up again. Sometimes Spiny-cheeked Honeyeaters sing ‘antiphonally’, with one bird singing a snatch of song, which is immediately followed by another bird nearby singing another phrase, so that the song sounds as though it is being sung by a single bird.

Centennial Olympic Park. Atlanta, GA. It seems every October there is one of these in this downtown park. The lack of buffy spectacles and a more heavily spotted chest help differentiate this thrush from the more common Swains0n's thrush.
I have been absorbed in play-off baseball this month, but still getting out to shoot. Will catch up on flickr as I have time.
The White-cheeked Barbet, also called the Small Green Barbet, is one of the frequent visitors to the backyard. Found in southern India it is very similar to the more widespread Brown-headed Barbet. Though mainly frugivorous they may sometimes eat insects. They use their bills to excavate nest cavities in trees. These barbets are arboreal and will rarely visit the ground. They obtain most of the water they need from their fruit diet.

This Black-cheeked Warbler is a great example of the value of sticking with a bird until it leaves the area. During our Costa Rica trip this October we encountered this little beauty and its mate foraging in the cloud forest in the darkness under the canopy. These birds are very active making them particularly challenging to photograph under such dimly lit conditions. We spent at least half an hour on these two and it wasn’t until the very end that I managed to get a presentable shot.

Copper-cheeked frog (Hydrophylax chalconotus)
Hydrophylax chalconotus is a species of frog in the Ranidae family. It is endemic to Indonesia. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests, rivers, intermittent rivers, freshwater marshes, intermittent freshwater marches, plantations, rural gardens, irrigated land, and seasonally flooded agricultural land. Formerly known as Rana chalconota, that taxon was applied to what is today named Hydrophylax raniceps. In the 1990s, it became generally agreed that Hydrophylax raniceps applied to specimens in northern and western Sumatra, Peninsula Malaysia and Borneo. Hydrophylax chalconota's range is limited to Southern Sumatra, Java and Bali (From Wikipedia article Hydrophylax_chalconotus)
