Of these birds, the albatross and Abbott's booby are seabirds with a wide range. The booby is now endangered and restricted to breeding around Christmas Island in the Indian Ocean. The two North American birds are the redstart and the towhee. Further south, the fig-eating azure-rumped tanager (or Cabanis's tanager) is found in Guatemala and Mexico. The azure jay ranges South America.
There are four avocet species, including an American avocet and Andean avocet. The pied avocet's re-establishment as a breeding bird in the UK led to its adoption as the logo of the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds, or RSPB for short.
Turning to Asia, there is the ashy drongo, a passerine bird with a deeply forked tail, and the cuckoo-type Asian koel. Africa is represented by the Aberdare cisticola (Latin name: Cisticila aberdare) from a family of around 160 warblers, and the pheasant-like Ahanta francolin.
