Three-striped Warbler

Eye-catching medium-sized bulbul, endemic to Java, Sumatra, and Bali, where it inhabits open wooded habitats. Combination of jet-black head, golden-yellow body, and blood-red throat make this species unmistakable. Small crest is often raised, giving the bird a comical triangular-headed appearance. Adults have bright red eyes, whereas juveniles have pale ones. Song is a rather quiet and mellow “wee-dih’deedee!” Unfortunately declining in many areas as a result of the cagebird trade, and is now fairly localized, despite its ability to live in scrubby and degraded areas.

Tiny bird of riverside vine tangles and seasonally flooded forest. Distinctive male is black-and-white while female has burnt orange head and breast; both easily recognized in riverside habitat. Usually found in pairs away from mixed-species flocks. Forages actively, climbing through vines and gleaning insects from leaves. Frequently detected by contact call: a nasal doubled note. The more complex song is heard less often.

Rare tanager restricted to very wet forest along the base of the Andes in northwestern Ecuador and western Colombia. Both sexes are deep blue with a brilliant yellow patch on both the breast and the lower underparts. Usually seen in middle to upper forest levels, and it tends to perch more vertically than other tanagers. It does not typically associate with mixed-species flocks.
