Brown Tit-Babbler

A largish, slow-moving warbler that inhabits thick vegetation from marshes to pine woodlands with dense thatch-palm undergrowth. Rather similar to Common Yellowthroat, but larger and more robust with a proportionately heavier bill. Males are entirely yellow below unlike Common Yellowthroats of eastern North America. The black mask of the Bahama Yellowthroat does not narrow towards the bill as it typically does in the Common. On the Andros Islands and New Providence, the crown is gray, unlike Common. Similarly, female Bahama Yellowthroats are more extensive yellow below but often have some gray on the lower belly. Songs and calls resemble those of Common, but the “tchuck” note lacks vibrato.

Large chunky babbler the size of a thrush. Dark brown above with bright white throat, coffee-colored cheeks, and black-and-white-scaled underparts. Gives a long airy whistle followed by a nasal buzzy note: “whee-chzzzz”. Forages near or on the ground in foothill and montane forests. Extremely shy and retiring, seldom seen well.

A fairly small honeyeater of lowland and foothill wooded areas on Timor. Olive-gray upperparts with greenish wing feathers, pale underparts with thick, dark streaks, sometimes looking like white streaks on a dark background. Yellow-orange ear patch, white throat and moustache stripe. Similar to Yellow-eared Honeyeater, but Streak-breasted Honeyeater lacks the yellow underparts. Voice, various whistles, rasps and mechanical warbles.
