Rusty-collared Seedeater

Male is entirely snowy white with stout yellow bill. Female also has yellow bill, but body is entirely pale gray with obvious white edges on wing feathers. Rather chunky body with short tail and smoothly rounded head, large black eye. Flies with unique, slow and deep wingbeats. Distinctive in limited range. Found in canopy of forests and mangroves; often seen around fruiting trees. Frequently perches conspicuously. Quiet.

Small scrubwren-like bird found in wet rainforests at higher elevations in the Atherton Tablelands of far northern Queensland. Adult entirely brown except for white throat, black bib, and faint pale supercilium. Juvenile almost completely dark brown, with a faint hint of pale throat and brow. Forages on the ground in deep leaf litter. Call a series of high-pitched, penetrating notes followed by a longer note.

Highly distinctive Taiwan endemic, bright green with a rainbow-hued face in red, blue, and yellow. Inhabits forests, parks, and gardens from lowlands into montane regions. Bold for a barbet, occasionally perching in treetops. Sometimes forms flocks. Vocalizations include frog-like croaking or bubbling notes and hollow bubbling hoots.
