Wikipedia: The collared scops owl (Otus lettia) is an owl which is a resident breeder in south Asia from northern Pakistan, northern India, Nepal, Bangladesh, the Himalayas east to south China, and Taiwan. It is partially migratory, with some birds wintering in India, Sri Lanka and Malaysia. This species was formerly considered to be included within what is now separated as the Indian scops owl (Otus bakkamoena).

"Round that corner, man hiding in the trash can
Something's waiting now to pounce and how you'll scream
This is Halloween, red and black, slimy green
Aren't you scared? Well, that's just fine
Say it once, say it twice
Take a chance and roll the dice
Ride with the moon in the dead of night
Everybody scream, everybody scream
In our town of Halloween"
~ "This Is Halloween" Marilyn Manson (from movie Nightmare Before Christmas)

The Collared Inca is a large hummingbird and an extremely quick flier that generally stays below the canopy of moss-laden cloudforests. Both males and females have white outer tail feathers and large white chest patches, both in strong contrast to its otherwise dark plumage. While haunting its dark, understory habitat, its generally dark plumage keeps it well hidden, and the first sign of its presence is the flashing open of its mostly white tail. identifies itself in the forest by flashing open its mostly white tail. It prefers long, pendulous, tubular flowers, hovering underneath to feed. Unlike the majority of hummingbirds, the Collared Inca appears especially prone to join mixed species foraging flocks of passerines, at least for short periods of time. Several studies have investigated its reproductive biology, but there is much to learn about this large, flashy, Andean hummingbird. Picture taken at Zuro Loma, Ecuador.

Collared Pika (Ochotona collaris) live in scree fields at the base of mountain peaks, making dens among the rocks and feeding on the grasses and wildflowers around them. Although they look like mice, they are more closely related to rabbits and hares. This pika cooperatively posed on a ridge in the front range of the Chugach Mountains in Anchorage, Alaska.

I can't believe it didn't know I was standing there, but it flew in and landed just above me.
I'm not sure how long I held my breath, but It quickly decided there was nothing to suit its appetire and with a wingflap, it was gone.
I began to breathe again. :-)
This smaller member of the toucan family lives from southern Mexico through Central America and along the Pacific edge of Columbia and Ecuador.
This was definitely one of my major target birds for Honduras. I encountered them only a few times, but they gave me several shots I liked. This bird was with its partner as they had a nesting cavity with young in a tree just to the left of the image.
And he is perched in a bamboo tree. Let me know if any of you recognize the kind of bamboo or can tell me anything about that plant.
Here's one from Ian's hide the other day.
When I was a youth I recall they were quite scarce but the Eurasian Collared Dove is now a common sight in our gardens and in rural villages. They seem to be often overlooked but are really attractive and delicate birds.
In this time of turmoil may this Dove bring you peace and love!

The Collared Sunbird (Hedydipna collaris) is a tiny yet dazzling jewel of Africa’s forests, woodlands, and gardens. Males are particularly striking, with their metallic green upperparts, vivid yellow underparts, and a distinctive narrow red breast band that gives the species its name, while females display more subdued olive and yellow tones. Despite their small size, these energetic birds are constantly on the move, flitting among flowers in search of nectar and supplementing their diet with insects and spiders.
An important pollinator within its habitat, the Collared Sunbird uses its slender, curved bill and brush-tipped tongue to feed from a variety of flowering plants. Its vibrant colours, lively behaviour, and remarkable agility make it a favourite among birdwatchers and photographers, offering fleeting but rewarding glimpses of one of Africa’s smallest and most beautiful avian species.

The Eurasian Collared Dove (Streptopelia decaocto) is a highly adaptable, medium-sized bird known for its rapid global expansion. Originally native to warmer regions of Asia, it has become a common sight in urban, suburban, and agricultural areas across Europe and North America.
Key Identification Features
Appearance:
They have a plump, sandy-gray or buff-colored body with a distinctive black half-collar on the nape of the neck.
Distinctive Tail:
Unlike the pointed tail of a Mourning Dove, the Eurasian collared dove has a broad, squared-off tail with large white patches at the corners.
Eyes and Bill:
Adults possess striking dark red eyes and a thin black bill.
Vocalizations:
Their primary call is a rhythmic, three-syllable coo (koo-KOO-kook) with the middle syllable emphasized. They also emit a harsh, nasal screeching sound just before landing.
Behavior and Diet
Diet:
These birds are primarily granivores, feeding on seeds, grains, and cereal crops, though they occasionally eat berries and small insects. They are frequent visitors to backyard bird feeders, where they often forage on the ground.
Territoriality:
They can be aggressive competitors at feeding stations, often chasing away smaller birds or native species like the Mourning Dove.
Flight Display:
Males perform a ritualized mating flight, flying nearly vertically before gliding down in a spiral with fanned tails.
Breeding and Life Cycle
Rapid Reproduction:
A monogamous pair can raise up to six broods per year in warmer climates.
Nesting:
They build simple, often flimsy platform nests made of twigs in trees, on buildings, or even on man-made structures like satellite dishes.
Parental Care:
Both parents share incubation duties and feed their young "crop milk," a nutrient-rich fluid secreted from their esophagus.
Global Colonization
The species is famous in ornithology for its "leapfrog" colonization style—new populations often spring up hundreds of miles away and eventually "backfill" the space in between. After being introduced to the Bahamas in the 1970s, they reached Florida by the 1980s and have since spread across most of the continental United States and into Canada.

Of the three types of toucans I saw in Costa Rica, the collared aracaris were my favorite, because they perched lower than the others.

Collared Sparrowhawk
≠=====================≠
Not often i see these out in the open and low down, so this was a few moments of excitement as it passed by lookign for a hunting opportunity.
I had time for a very quick visit to the Heathdale - Glen Orden Wetlands this morning. As I entered the Wetlands I spotted two Sparrowhawks zooming around but couldn't get a shot. Thankfully as I was leaving one flew in and perched briefly on branch that was not far from where I was.
