Orange River White-eye

An unusual warbler with a long bill and yellow eyes. Brownish above and dull yellow below with a gray head and whitish throat. Found in rainforest, mainly in dense tangles at middle levels, usually in pairs or small groups. Similar in appearance to other longbills, but with a good view, separated by the coloration of the underparts. Most often detected by the distinctive song: a long series of clear whistled notes in which each note is slightly lower in pitch. The pattern is similar to that of Sabine’s Puffback, and the individual notes sound very batis-like. 

A small, mostly citrine-yellow bird with a pale buffy-gray belly, a bold white eye-ring, and a black line from eye to bill. Bill dark. Most common in heavily forested areas. Silvereye is similar but has gray back and peachy cinnamon underside and prefers open habitats. Common calls include a very high-pitched “seee” and “seeu-seeu.”

Rich caramel-colored duck with long neck and legs. Look for blue-gray legs and bill and white stripes on sides. Easily distinguished from Black-bellied Whistling-Duck in flight because Fulvous has all-dark wings. Usually found in flocks in marshes, marshy ponds, and flooded rice fields. Active day and night. Frequently gives whistled calls. Males sound wheezier, females more nasal and squeaky.
