Malayan Laughingthrush

Fairly large ovenbird. Found in almost any open habitat including urban areas. Rufous above and buff below with a contrasting white throat, faint eyebrow, and a dark rufous tail. Song is a loud and rhythmic burst of “kweep” notes often delivered as a duet with wings flapping wildly. Builds remarkable mud nests on trees, buildings, and other human structures.

Fairly small tanager-like sparrow with an extremely tiny range in the foothills of eastern Panama, from around 800–1,200 m. Distinctive in range: olive-brownish overall with brighter yellow-ochre underparts, darker blackish face, and staring pale eye. Like other chlorospingus, typically found in small groups, often with a mixed-species flock. Usually sticks to the understory or middle levels of humid forest.

A medium-sized honeyeater of montane forest and edge on the Bird’s Head of New Guinea. Dark gray with a black head and chest. White streaking from the upper belly gets broader, to all pale in the base of the tail. The most prominent feature is the large yellow patch of bare facial skin centered around the eye. No other co-occuring honeyeaters have this color and shape facial patch. Call, a long croaking whistle “Wuueeeeeeuuuuu!” first rising then falling back down.
