Philippine Megapode
Megapodius cumingii
Odd-looking partridge-like bird with a stunted head. Brown wings, gray underparts, and yellow bill. Found on small offshore islands and within hilly and montane forests on larger islands. Forages on the ground, scraping about in the leaf litter and detritus. Gives long, drawn-out wails somewhat akin to that of emergency vehicles. Like other megapodes, builds mounds and digs burrows to incubate eggs.
识别特征

Southern Black-Tit
Melaniparus niger
A large, active, noisy black tit with white shoulders, white edgings to the wing feathers, and a barred gray-and-white undertail. Pairs and small groups form the core of mixed-species feeding flocks in broadleaf woodland and thorn scrub. The species is often detected by its noisy buzzing and chirping vocalizations, including a sweet-and-scratchy “diddy-dzee-dzee-dzee-dzee-dzee.” The very similar Carp’s Tit is black under the tail; ranges only narrowly overlap.
Yellow-bibbed Fruit-Dove
Ptilinopus solomonensis
A spectacular fruit-dove with a large, bright banana yellow patch on its chest and a hot pink patch on its chest and forehead. Otherwise mostly green, aside from yellow undertail. Appears to be more common on smaller atolls. Juvenile resembles the juvenile of Claret-breasted Fruit-Dove, but has yellow barring on the chest instead of a dull claret breast patch. Call is typically a long series of “woot” notes accelerating over time.
Millerbird
Acrocephalus familiaris
A small old-world warbler that occurs only on Nihoa and Laysan in the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands. Unlikely to be confused with any other species; the only other passerines on those islands are finches. Does not occur on the main Hawaiian Islands. Prefers dense, low vegetation. Usually secretive and hard to see well, but males sometimes sing from an exposed perch. Song and calls are harsh chirps and churring.
