Palawan Flowerpecker

Black cockatoo with white ear patch and white tail panel. Inhabits moist eucalypt forest in the southwestern corner of Western Australia, where it eats seeds from large seed pods of Marri and Karri trees. Unlikely to be observed out on the coastal sand plains of Perth. Very similar to Carnaby’s Black-Cockatoo but with much longer, pointed upper mandible. Calls include mournful wailing cries that are more clipped than those of Carnaby’s.

Large frogmouth of Borneo’s central mountains. Inhabits foothill forest (typically 600–1230 m). Heavyset, with a whiskered face and bright white spots on the wings. Similar Large Frogmouth is generally found at lower elevations; Dulit has broader (as opposed to Large’s sharply triangular) white wing spots, strong pale barring on the throat, and overall darker coloration. Song is a low, resonant, melancholy-sounding “hooooo’m”; call consists of barks, typically given in pairs: “woo’WUP!”.

Fairly small, dark, inconspicuous greenbul. The birds in Kenya and along the Albertine Rift have a gray crown, whereas the ones in central Tanzania and Malawi are uniformly olive-green. Found in the mid-story of montane forest. The western subspecies is known for its distinctive habit of creeping along branches like a woodpecker. Easily confused with other greenbuls, but slightly smaller and slimmer than other species in its range. Tree-creeping habits are distinctive when observed.
