Javan Oriole

Small cuckooshrike with a restricted range, found only on the Solomon Islands, as well as a couple small islands off of New Ireland. Males are mainly gray with black on the face, wing, and tail. Distinctive female is mostly rufous-brown, with buffy underparts. There is geographical variation, with females unbarred in most of the range, but showing barred underparts in some places. Found singly or in pairs in forest and forest edge habitats at low and middle elevations. Vocalizations poorly known, but include a long series of “chyap” notes.

Small warbler found in cloud forest along the east slope of the Andes from central Peru to western Bolivia. It has yellow underparts, olive upperparts, and yellow eyebrows. Central crown stripe is orange, but this can be hard to see in the field. Similar to Two-banded Warbler, but lacks a broken eyering and head stripes are not as dark. Song is a quick series of clear whistles; also gives gravelly chip notes. Usually seen in pairs at lower to middle levels of the forest. Formerly called Golden-bellied Warbler.

Fairly common in riverine and varzea forest of western Amazonia. A fairly large barbet with typical stout bill. Distinctive plumage: mostly brown with orange breast and red crown (whitish or buffy on female). Unlikely to be confused with other barbets. Look for pairs in the canopy, often feeding in a fruiting tree or perched quietly on an open branch. Listen for froglike trilled notes, repeated in a series.
