Andaman Boobook

Small monarch flycatcher with uniformly dark glossy plumage. Endemic to Pohnpei Island, where it is the only small all-dark bird on the island; male Micronesian Starling is also glossy and dark, but is much larger, with yellow eyes. Inhabits forests and forest edges, often “flycatching” from a perch close to the ground. Gives a series of bright rising whistles, as well as a squeaky descending chatter and harsh rasping notes.

Plain apalis with dark gray upperparts and pale underparts. The head pattern of males varies geographically. In the northwestern part of the range, the head and breast are completely dark. In the rest of the range, the throat and breast are pale. Found in the canopy of low- and middle-elevation humid forest. Usually in pairs or small groups, which will join mixed-species flocks. The main vocalization is a rough, quickly repeated “chree” which can be accompanied by a piping call. Similar to Gray Apalis, but has a buffy wash on the underparts.

Large buff-colored warbler with a heavy flat bill and long tail. Olive-gray upperparts contrast with the pale bill. The pale lores separates this species from the similar Eastern Olivaceous Warbler and it doesn’t make downward tail movements like Eastern. Song contains several irregular notes and clicks. Found in light woodland gardens, orchards, plantations, oases and areas with dense bushes.
