NOTES 
Figure 3. Rufous-tailed Robin at St. Paul Island on 9 June 2008. Note the brown 
upperparts with contrasting rufous tail, generally whitish underparts, and pattern of 
brownish gray scales on the flanks. The dusky malar stripes are also formed by the 
grayish tips to those feathers. The bird also exhibits a whitish eye ring with a duller 
supraloral stripe. The pale tips to the inner greater secondary feathers identify this 
bird as in its second year.

Figure 4. Rufous-tailed Robin at St. Paul Island on 9 June 2008. Here the tail appears 
brighter rufous and more contrasting with the brownish upperparts than in Figure 3, 
likely a result of the photographic exposure.
