Buff-throated Purpletuft

Small, warbler-like antbird that usually stays high in the trees. Inhabits cloud forest along the east slope of the Andes; also in the western and central Andes of Colombia. Note yellow underparts, dark wings with white wingbars, and streaky face. Male has a black cap, and female has a chestnut cap. Typically seen with mixed-species flocks in the forest canopy. Frequently given song is a rising and then falling trill.

A rare medium-sized owl of lowland and foothill forest on Tablas, Romblon, and Sibuyan islands. Upperparts, chest, and head dark brown and indistinctly barred. Underparts reddish brown. Note the long whiskers around the face and the bright yellow eyes. Probably the only owl in its range except for Mantanani Scops-Owl, but Romblon Boobook is reddish rather than gray and lacks the black line around the face. Song is a phrase of three notes, “wik weu-weu,” with the second and third being descending rasping notes.

Large, dark green parrot. Note the red patches on the shoulder and thighs. The head can be pale brown or gray, and the underparts green or blue-green. Found at varied elevations in forest, thick woodland, plantations, and lush savanna. Call is a shriek that is surprisingly high-pitched for such a robust bird. No range overlap with Cape Parrot. Similar to Red-fronted Parrot but has a paler head.
