Arabian Warbler
Curruca leucomelaena
A fairly large Sylvia warbler with a prominent black hood, a pale whitish eyering, and most importantly a long, broad black tail that lacks white outer tail feathers in contrast to the very similar looking Eastern Orphean Warbler. Favors extensive acacia scrub in large wadis and plains where it is often seen moving lazily in the canopy. Sedentary, but moves fair distances within large territories. Call is a fluty whistle combined with a harsh "Chak" call.
Palau Flycatcher
Myiagra erythrops
A small, short-tailed flycatcher with an erect crest. Orange-buff color on the belly, chest, and throat extends around the eye to form an orange eye-ring. Crest, back, wings, and tail gray-blue. Prefers forest or forest edge, apparently favoring mangroves. Song is a series of evenly pitched “pee-pee-pee” whistles. Also gives fast flat “tititititititi” whistles.
Short-tailed Paradigalla
Paradigalla brevicauda
A medium-sized, short-tailed bird of montane forest. All black plumage with iridescence on the head, fairly long bill and a distinctive, yellow wattle between the eye and the bill. Note the blue line below the base of the mouth. Feeds on fruit but also probes mossy branches for insects. Similar in size and shape to the male Loria’s Satinbird but Short-tailed Paradigalla has its unique yellow wattle. Voice, a long, mournful, monotone whistle.
