Black-hooded Laughingthrush

Small, vocal bird of rainforest canopy. Yellow below, dull green above, with light brown-gray head, light peach bill. Sexes alike. Often found with tanagers in mixed species flocks. Frequently heard as it vocalizes throughout the day, a short warbled phrase, recalling Chivi Vireo.

Tiny bird, plump and active. Most obvious features are pale eyes and rufous crown with black spots (rarely raised to a crest). Even when crest not raised, crown often looks shaggy. Combination of size and crown pattern helps separate from other small flycatchers. Otherwise nondescript: overall olive-brownish, whitish belly with blurry streaking, subtly paler wingbars. Found singly or in pairs along forest edge, second growth, or sometimes inside forest. Makes pipping notes and a short insectlike trill.

A fairly large pigeon with obvious black and white facial markings, and a white stripe up the side of the belly to the shoulder. Pale white underwings (Common Bronzewing has reddish underwings). It occurs in the drier parts of eastern Queensland, where it is much rarer in the south than the north. This species is usually observed on the ground, typically on the side of a dirt road.
