Yucatan Vireo

Medium-sized flycatcher found in a variety of dense scrubby habitats often close to water. Note the pale wingbars and eyebrows that contrast with the gray-brown back and yellowish belly. Several distinctive subspecies differ in plumage tones, extent of the eyebrow, bill color, and call. Similar to Euler's Flycatcher, but with a strong eyebrow. The song is a sharp “jet-jet-pew-pew,” with more emphasis on the last note.

Raucous, vividly-colored magpie of lowland and foothill forests, gardens, and parks. Bright blue with black head, white belly, and long tail which trails loosely behind it in flight. Bright scarlet bill and extensive white crown serve to distinguish this species from the otherwise similar Yellow-billed Blue-Magpie. Travels in groups, communicating with constant, raucous, hoarse calls. Aggressive, often driving away other birds.

Elegant mountain stream specialist, endemic to Java and Sumatra. Typically encountered foraging alongside narrow and fast-moving forest waterways at 600-2000 meters. Dark gray above and white below, with a dark throat and slender white stripe around the forehead. Males have a gray crown, while females have a dark maroon one (difficult to see in poor lighting). Also note bright white rump. White-crowned Forktail is significantly larger, with white wingbars and a larger white forehead patch. Calls loudly, especially when alarmed, giving high thin whistles. Often bobs tail.
