Masked Saltator

A striking, largely bright turquoise-blue flycatcher with a white belly and prominent black mark between bill and eye. Juvenile is brown and extensively spotted, with blue wings and tail. Inhabits understory and upper levels of foothill and montane forest, where singles or pairs frequently join mixed-species flocks. Unmistakable within limited range in Indonesia and the Philippines. Song is a short, unchanging jumbled warble with no obvious introductory or ending notes, giving the impression that it starts and ends right in the middle of the song.

Large bright orange oriole with thick dark bill, found in open shrubby woodland. Limited black on face and throat; black back and wings with white wingbar and orange shoulder patch. Young birds duller yellow. Most similar to Hooded Oriole but larger and stockier with orange shoulder patch and thicker bill. Song is a series of sweet, clear whistles like many other orioles, but slower with a more deliberate, even pattern. Visits fruit feeders.

Handsome woodpecker found only in the Peruvian Andes. Solid black throat and heavily barred upperparts separate it from the otherwise similar Golden-olive Woodpecker. Male has entirely red crown and mustache; female has red only on hind crown. Found in a variety of habitats, but most common in arid areas with tall columnar cacti; avoids dense forest. Vocalizations include drawn-out whinnies and single “pew” notes.
