Timor Nightjar

Small songbird with long tail, slim bill. Mostly black above and pale gray below, with white wing panels, and multiple white patches on face. Worn birds show flecks of black in white patches. At close range, note prominent bristles around the bill. Actively forages in the outer canopy of mid-story shrubs and small trees in wetter forests of eastern Australia coast. Song a four-note whistle; also a plaintive descending 2-note “meet-choooo.”

Robust songbird with a strong, pointed bill. Grayish overall except for brown back and pale spot between eyes and bill (lores). Immature similar but with faint streaks on breast; juvenile more heavily streaked still, with rusty eyebrow. Inhabits most treed environments in Australia, foraging in pairs from ground level into treetops. Sings a beautiful five-note song.

Large black-and-white goshawk. Most individuals have a white breast, but some have almost completely black underparts. Immatures have dark streaks below, over a white or rusty base color. Found in forest, woodland, thick savanna, and plantations. Calls are a long wail and an agitated scolding series. Dark-breasted birds similar to dark-morph Gabar Goshawk and Ovambo Sparrowhawk but are larger and have yellow legs and base of the bill. Somewhat similar to hawk-eagles, but much longer-tailed and faster in flight.
