Yellow-lored Amazon
Amazona xantholora
Fairly small parrot of the Yucatan Peninsula, often in the same areas as the rather similar White-fronted Parrot, but the two species do not seem to mix in the same flocks. Found in forest and edge, less often in semi-open areas with scattered trees. Told from White-fronted Parrot by the dark cheek patch, and in flight shows a brighter green lower back than White-fronted. With a good view, note the small yellow face patch (‘lores’) at the bill base.
识别特征
The Yucatan amazon is 25.5 to 28 cm (10 to 11 in) long and weighs 200 to 232 g (7.1 to 8.2 oz). It is mostly green. Adult males are chrome yellow on their lores and the sides of their forehead; the rest of the forehead and most of their crown are white. The area around and behind their eye is red and their ear coverts are dusky. Their rear crown is greenish blue, their nape green, and the rest of their upperparts and their underparts are yellowish green. Most of the body feathers have black edges that give a scalloped appearance. Their middle pair of tail feathers are green with pale yellowish green tips, the next pair are yellowish green with a yellow base and a red streak near the base, and the rest have progressively more red replacing the yellowish green. Their wing's leading edge and primary coverts are red, the outermost primaries are green with blue towards the end, and the rest of their primaries and their secondaries are rich blue. Their iris is orange surrounded by bare white skin and their bill and legs are yellow. Adult females differ from males with a greenish blue forehead and crown, paler yellow lores, very little red on the face, traces of duskiness on the ear coverts, and green primary coverts.

Sulphur-breasted Warbler
Phylloscopus ricketti
Small leaf warbler with vivid yellow underparts and greenish upperparts. Readily distinguished from most other leaf warblers in range by bright coloration; Hartert’s can be similar but has a weaker brow pattern, is paler yellow on the underparts, and has a habit of shaking its wings--a habit lacking in Sulphur-breasted. Breeds in mixed hill forests but can turn up in a variety of wooded habitats on migration. Song is a series of bright, high-pitched accelerating notes. Call is a bright “pi-pew.”
Bagobo Robin
Leonardina woodi
A seldom-seen medium-sized ground bird of foothill and montane forest on Mindanao. Rufous-brown above from the crown to the tail, gray below with a white throat and rufous from the lower belly to the base of the tail. Note the sturdy black bill, long legs, and large feet. Somewhat similar to Long-tailed Bush-Warbler, but lacks the pale brow and doesn’t cock its tail. Voice consists of very high-pitched whistles and some harsh rasping notes.
Sillem's Rosefinch
Carpodacus sillemi
This mysterious and range-restricted rosefinch of the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau looks more like a mountain-finch than like other rosefinches. Male is pale brown with a whitish belly and a rusty brown face. Female is streaky gray with pale underparts and a yellow bill. Only known from remote open mountain plateaus at and above 5000 meters above sea level.
