Buru Dwarf-Kingfisher

Ceyx cajeli

A little kingfisher with a bright orange bill, an orange blob on the forehead, peach underparts, and dark blue upperparts with a bright blue stripe down them. Juvenileis darker and less blue above, with a dark-based, pale-tipped bill. Inhabits forest understory, sometimes near streams. Confined to Buru, where it is the only kingfisher with an orange bill. Orange underside distinguishes it from all other local kingfishers except the dark-billed Common Kingfisher.  A little-known, recently described species. The call remains undescribed.

Costa Rican Warbler

Costa Rican Warbler

Basileuterus melanotis

Small understory warbler, dull buffy-brown overall. Bold black stripes on head, including cheek patch. Sexes alike. Recalls Worm-eating Warbler but plumper with longer tail; face pattern different. Found in pairs or small flocks moving through the forest understory. Often with a mixed-species flock. Energetic twittering song is a good clue that there’s a flock nearby.

Socotra Warbler

Socotra Warbler

Incana incana

Drab little warbler endemic to Socotra. Gray-brown above and pale gray below, sometimes showing a brighter rufous coloration crown. Found in most habitats with trees and bushes, ranging from grassland dotted with shrubs to fairly lush woodland. Often runs on the ground, and sometimes cocks up the tail. Vocalizations include harsh “tek” notes and a fast, high-pitched trill of very dry notes. Within its range, can only be confused with Socotra Cisticola, but easily distinguished by the darker and duller coloration, without streaking on the crown or back.

White-necked Myna

White-necked Myna

Streptocitta albicollis

An unmistakable long-tailed, black-and-white myna. Black except for broad white breast band and collar. South Sulawesi form has a pale-tipped bill; in north, bill is entirely dark. Juveniles less glossy and shorter-tailed than adults. Found in pairs or small groups in canopy of forest and forest edge in lowlands and foothills. Often perches out on prominent dead branches. Restricted to Sulawesi, satellite islands, and Togian Islands. Gives a variety of odd calls, including high-pitched piercing “keer,” soft low-pitched “kyop,” and other whistles and metallic notes.
