Salmon-crested Cockatoo
Cacatua moluccensis
A large white cockatoo with a pinkish cast to many feathers and yellow under the wings. The bright salmon color may be mostly concealed unless the crest is raised. Usually found in pairs and small flocks. Calls are very loud screeches. Inhabits lowland rainforests in the southern Moluccas; also known as Moluccan Cockatoo. Introduced to the Hawaiian island of Oahu, where a small population has become established.
分类信息
The salmon-crested cockatoo was formally described in 1788 by the German naturalist Johann Friedrich Gmelin in his revised and expanded edition of Carl Linnaeus's Systema Naturae. He placed it with parrots in the genus Psittacus and coined the binomial name Psittacus moluccensis. Gmelin based his description on those by earlier ornithologists. George Edwards had described and illustrated the cockatoo in 1751, Mathurin Jacques Brisson had described it in 1760, and the Comte de Buffon in had described and illustrated the cockatoo in 1779. The type locality is the Maluku Islands. The salmon-crested cockatoo is now one of 11 species placed in the genus Cacatua that was introduced in 1817 by Louis Pierre Vieillot. The species is monotypic: no subspecies are recognised.

分布与栖息地
The salmon-crested cockatoo is endemic to the Seram archipelago in eastern Indonesia and has been introduced to the Hawaiian island of Oahu, where a small population has become established. Although they have been observed in the wild in Puerto Rico, they are probably the result of escaped pets, and no reproduction has been recorded.

Russet-backed Oropendola
Psarocolius angustifrons
A medium-sized oropendola; fairly common in lowlands but seems to be scarce in montane forest. Can occur up to around 2,500m in the Andes, where it is usually the only oropendola and unlikely to be confused. Generally olive overall with warmer rufous tones on back and rump. Variable bill color: dark blackish in the Amazonian lowlands; usually yellowish in Andes. Yellow outer tail feathers like other oropendolas. Typically in flocks that forage in the canopy, sometimes in mixed flocks with other oropendolas or caciques.
Common Myna
Acridotheres tristis
A large, black-and-brown myna with white wing patches, yellow bill, and yellow legs. Gregarious and often found in noisy flocks. Aggressive, often driving away other birds. Can be found just about anywhere but the densest forests. Native to southern Asia, where it is among the most common species. Widely introduced elsewhere in the world, including Australia, New Zealand, and Hawaii.
Moluccan Owlet-nightjar
Aegotheles crinifrons
A large owlet-nightjar of lowland and foothill forests. Rufous or dark brown morphs present and also intergrades. Three broad, pale buffy, vertical bands on the chest separated by 2 dark bands. Distinctive white stars on the back and dark arrowhead marks on the chest. The only owlet-nightjar in its range. Call a series of 3 or more descending notes “weuuu we-wu” with the first the longest and downslurred. Sometimes followed by a maniacal cackle.
