Pohnpei Lorikeet

A plain seedeater of the Abyssinian highlands. Note the gray-brown back, the paler underparts, the white eyebrow, and the small white throat. Generally common in a variety of montane habitats including forest edge, woodland, scrub, and gardens. Similar in overall coloration to Reichard’s and Streaky Seedeaters, but easily separated by the plain unstreaked underparts. The simple song consists of repeated scratchy whistles. 

Fairly small flycatcher that perches upright in the mid-story of montane forest and cloud forest. Subtly colorful, with a diffuse gray facial pattern. Look for the warm buffy orange wash on the breast and faint orange wingbars. Warmer orange coloration and lack of a gray crown or strong facial pattern help distinguish it from the similar Slaty-capped Flycatcher, which it replaces at higher elevations. Forages singly or in pairs, occasionally joining mixed-species flocks; has the unusual habit of quickly raising one wing at a time behind its back.

A retiring warbler of densely vegetated forest edges, lightly wooded slopes, and clearings in foothill to montane regions; favors areas with thick ground vegetation. Dull and unremarkable to look at; plain brown above and paler brown below, with a white throat and eyebrow. More contrastingly marked than Brownish-flanked Bush Warbler; smaller and stouter than Manchurian and Japanese Bush Warblers. Song is what sets it apart: a sharp note followed by a quick bout of chattering and squeaking.
