Pale-faced Bulbul

A typical scimitar-babbler, moving noisily through the undergrowth in pairs or small flocks while probing for prey with a long, curved bill. Simply colored: brown above and white below with a black mask and a bright red bill. Very similar-looking Brown-crowned Scimitar-Babbler has warm brown underparts. Often moves with other species, particularly other babblers and fulvettas, in mixed-species flocks. Gives a range of chattering, hooting, and whistling notes. A species of hill forests, particularly evergreen broadleaf forest.

Large, stocky bird. Green-and-chestnut plumage can look mostly black under some conditions and at a distance. Note size, yellow tail, and deep, rowing wingbeats. Reliably distinguished from other green-plumaged oropendolas by pale green-and-red bill. Found in rainforest canopy and edges as well as along rivers, in villages, and in savanna woodlands. Groups move noisily through the forest canopy in search of fruit and flowers. Large flocks are sometimes seen commuting between roosting and feeding areas. Distinctive song of male can be heard at a great distance.

A medium-sized vulture with a silvery bill, a dark body, a grayish shine on the wings, a white back, and a distinctive white collar on the neck. In flight, the adult appears dark with a strikingly large white slab running across the underside of the wing. The juvenile is dark brown with fine pale streaks; it has a dark collar, pale feathers on the head, a dark bill, and no white on the back or underwing. Found in open areas and around habitation.
