Little Egret

Medium-sized, leaf-green inhabitant of lowland, foothill, and lower montane forests on Java. Male a triangular black throat patch with a deep blue center, as well as a pale yellow patch on the breast. Female is green all over with a small blue throat smudge. Both sexes have vivid blue highlights on the wings, which help to distinguish it from Greater Green Leafbird, which has plain green wings, as well as a pale yellow throat and eyering on females. Vocalizations varied, including a rather slow, simple song consisting of whistles and warbles, as well as shorter warbled series somewhat reminiscent of bulbul vocalizations.

Subtly patterned reddish-brown flycatcher of high-elevation montane forests. Perches upright, often on the tops of snags or bushes around forest edges and clearings. Grayish brown above, warm tawny reddish below, with reddish wingbars and a weak black eye-line. Listen for a series of short bouncing notes followed by a punctuated ending note: “pip-pip-pip, pi-PEW.”

Dapper flycatcher with a distinctly large-headed, large-eyed appearance. Not readily mistaken for any other species: combination of gray head, orange-brown body, and distinct pale eyering are unique. Perches at mid-height in forest openings, often next to running water, sallying out periodically to snag insects.
