Yellow-vented Bulbul
Pycnonotus goiavier
The most common urban bulbul in Southeast Asia, this attractive songster is a common sight in cities, parks, and plantations, as well as in open forests, edges, and secondary growth. Brown above and whitish below with a bright yellow vent and a thick black line between the bill and the eye. Front edge of the weak, slightly peaked crest is also dark. Gives rolling, variable song and bubbly multiple-note calls.

行为
The yellow-vented bulbul builds a well-camouflaged but fragile, loose, deep, cup-shaped circular nest from grass, leaves, roots, vine stems, and twigs. The nest is untidy on the outside, but neatly lined with plant fibers. It may be built in a wide range of places from low bushes to high trees. This is a species adapted to humans and may even nest in gardens. The yellow-vented bulbul lays 2–5 eggs from February to June.<p>The yellow-vented bulbul eats berries and small fruits. They also sip nectar, nibble on young shoots, and consume some insects.

Plumbeous Black-Tyrant
Knipolegus cabanisi
Medium-sized flycatcher of Andean slopes; rare in southern Peru, more common in Bolivia and northern Argentina. Male is separated from White-winged Black-Tyrant by grayer, less glossy plumage and from Cinereous Tyrant by darker belly. Female is told from those species by her dark (not pale) throat. Inhabits humid forest, often near rivers and streams. Perches on a bare branch or snag and sallies out after insects.
Small Tree-Finch
Camarhynchus parvulus
A small Galápagos finch with a dainty bill. Bill is slightly curved on both upper and lower edges, and longer than it is deep. Male has a black hood, gray-brown upperparts, and a pale belly. Female is tan with whitish to buffy underparts. Both sexes have a variable amount of streaking on the breast. Bill is black on breeding male and orange on female and non-breeding male. Bill is smaller and less curved compared to other tree-finches. Female is similar to female Small Ground-Finch, but on that species the lower edge of bill is straight--not curved. Found on most of the larger islands, but absent from Española, Genovesa, and Marchena. Inhabits a wide range of habitats and elevations.
Green-backed Kingfisher
Actenoides monachus
An unmistakable, spectacular large forest kingfisher with a big orange bill, a moss-green back, burnt-orange underparts, and a white throat. Head is bright azure-blue in north and central Sulawesi, but very dark blackish-blue in the south. Females show rufous facial markings that are absent in males. Juveniles are duller, with horn-colored bills. Found singly and in pairs in forest understory of lowlands and lower hills. Vocal around dawn, when it repeats drawn-out mournful whistles, “woooo-eEEE,” that get gradually louder. Also gives a distressed dry chatter.
