Golden-fronted Woodpecker
Melanerpes aurifrons
Medium-sized woodpecker, plain buffy-brown overall with black-and-white barring on the back. Head pattern varies across range but usually shows some combination of yellow and red. Most males on the Caribbean slope of Mexico and into Central America have a solidly red crown and nape. In flight, look for white rump. Common and conspicuous in open woodlands, deciduous forest, and arid scrub from Texas and Oklahoma south to Nicaragua. Often the default woodpecker close to human settlements. Visits backyards and feeders, especially for oranges and jelly. Hybridizes with Red-bellied Woodpecker at the northern limits of its range and with Hoffmann’s Woodpecker at the southern limits. Also compare with the smaller Yucatan Woodpecker.

Scarlet-hooded Barbet
Eubucco tucinkae
Brightly colored, yellow-billed barbet. Found in dense secondary growth, especially in bamboo and around water. Males are olive green above, with a yellow belly and extensive red hood that fades into the breast and back; females are similar, but with a yellow breast and throat. The lack of red on the lower breast of females helps distinguish them from similar male Lemon-throated Barbets. Song is an even-paced series of low hoots.
Black-billed Koel
Eudynamys melanorhynchus
A large cuckoo endemic to Sulawesi. Long tail and red eye. Male is all black; females have a brown back andbarred underparts with white stripe on the face. Found in forest and edge where it hides in dense canopy and is difficult to see. The only koel on Sulawesi. Male separated from other black birds by long, pointed black tail. Female from other cuckoos by white stripe on face and barring. Voice a typical “koel!” call, or short series of rising and falling “woo” notes.
Ornate Lorikeet
Trichoglossus ornatus
A striking, brightly-colored long-tailed parrot confined to Sulawesi and satellite islands. Green with an orange bill, a purple face, a red throat and red-barred chest, and a prominent yellow stripe on the side of the neck. Juveniles have a brown bill and a yellow belly. Found in pairs or small parties in upper levels of forest and wooded areas, including plantations, in lowlands and foothills. Unmistakable, as it is the only long-tailed parakeet with red markings in its limited range. Utters various shrill screeches such as “KREET!” and “SKEET!”
