Gray-fronted Green-Pigeon
Treron affinis
Beautifully-colored pigeon of peninsular India’s lowland and hill forests. Male has a deep velvet-red back and gray-blue crown. Female has an olive-green back and a more restricted crown patch. Song is odd and un-pigeonlike: a long ascending note followed by high undulating squeaking and bubbling noises, somewhat resembling the tuning of an old radio.

行为
The grey-fronted green pigeon usually occurs singly or in small groups. Its flight is fast and direct, with the regular beats and an occasional sharp flick of the wings that are characteristic of pigeons in general. It eats the seeds and fruits of a wide variety of plants. It builds a stick nest in a tree and lays two white eggs.

Golden-browed Warbler
Basileuterus belli
Attractive warbler of shady dense understory in highland forests. Favors relatively humid pine-oak, fir, and pine-evergreen forest, where often quite skulking. Typically in pairs at low to middle levels in brushy flower banks or other cover; not usually with mixed-species feeding flocks. Sexes look alike and can appear rather drab unless the beautiful head pattern is seen: broad golden-yellow eyebrow set off by dark rusty cheeks and cap.
Andaman Coucal
Centropus andamanensis
A large, pale-brown, ground-dwelling cuckoo with rusty wings and back. Skulks in bushes and low cover, where it moves clumsily as it searches for small invertebrates, small mammals, and birds to prey on. Like other coucals, it is a cuckoo that builds its own nest. Common throughout its range in gardens, groves, disturbed forests, paddyfields, etc. The song is a series of deep and resonant “hoop” notes.
Black-browed Albatross
Thalassarche melanophris
A common and widespread albatross of the southern oceans; often seen from shore and ferries. Like other albatrosses, often scavenges at fishing boats. All plumages white-headed, often obvious at long distance (black brow only visible at close range). Adult has orange-yellow bill, brighter at the tip and thick black irregular underwing margins; 1st-year has dusky bill with black tip and solidly blackish underwings; mostly like adult in 3 years.
