Blue Finch

A fairly large dove of foothill and low-elevation montane forest canopy. Pale gray from the belly to the sides of the chest and neck, with a sooty back and cheek, an orange chest patch with dark red below, and a pink crown and mark across the flight feathers. Similar to the Yellow-breasted Fruit-Dove, but Flame-breasted has an orange rather than yellow chest and a dark pink crown. Song is a deep, rising-then-falling “oo-woo.” Takes flight with loud wing claps.

Small cuckooshrike with a restricted range, found only on Biak and Numfor Islands, off of West Papua, Indonesia. Males are uniformly blackish-gray. Females are brown on the back, gray on the head, and buff below with fine spots. Found in forest and forest edge. Vocalizations are poorly known, but include a slurred whistle given over and over. Distinctive within its small range.

A large chunky vireo, widespread in tropical and subtropical wooded habitats. Forages sluggishly, mainly at mid-upper levels, sometimes joining mixed-species feeding flocks. Plumage varies across its range, but all populations have a very stout pale bill, a rusty eyebrow, and pinkish legs; underparts vary from bright yellow (as in mainland Mexico and Central America) to dingy yellow (as on Cozumel Island).
