Eastern Olivaceous Warbler

A small, slender-billed, warbler-like brown songbird restricted to a cluster of small islands in Indonesia. Rufous-brown above with a gray head, and whitish underneath with rufous-washed flanks. Adult has a pale iris, immature a dark eye and a yellow-washed underside. Singles or pairs occupy a variety of lowland wooded environments, including mangroves, favoring vine tangles. No other warbler-like birds in its range. Vocalizations include a high-pitched warbled song, regularly rising and falling in pitch. Also gives a two-note “wi-wir” call.

Rare but spectacular eagle of lowland tropical forest. Very rarely seen perched, when black mask, orange-yellow base of bill, and short black crest are distinctive. In flight appears bright white below with a white head and blackish upperparts. The diagnostic, white leading edge of the inner half of the wing contrasts with the black upperside and can be seen in flight at long range. Does not call much when flying, unlike Black and Ornate hawk-eagles. Adult similar to pale immature Gray-headed Kite, but is larger and has orange base to bill.

A compact kingfisher with a comparatively short, shallow, wide bill. Has deep blue wings, a greenish-blue back, and a blue cap with buffy white in front of the eye that narrows above it to form an eyebrow. Underparts washed cinnamon. Found in most habitats, even urban parks and gardens. Local subspecies of Pacific Kingfisher is larger, with a noticeably heavier, thicker bill and much cleaner white underparts. Flat-billed’s voice is a series of short, sharp “kik” notes.
