I'll start it off with this one from Colombia. I believe the bird in this instance is the Andean condor ( Vultur gryphus).  Colligo ergo sum

Here're two more brightly colored notes, the first being the Samoa 20 Tala, featuring the national bird, the Tooth-billed pigeon ( Didunculus strigirostris). These were printed by Thomas De La Rue & Company, Limited.  Plus Nectarinia jugularis on the Singapore $20.  Colligo ergo sum
