Hook-billed Vanga
Vanga curvirostris
Big black-and-white vanga with a strong hooked bill. Madagascar endemic that uses all types of forest, and some plantations and scrub. Seen mostly in the mid-story, singly or in pairs. A serious predator that will grab just about any other animal that it can manage to swallow. Perhaps for that reason, doesn’t often join mixed flocks, and is often mobbed by smaller birds. Song is a long, ghostly whistle. Distinctive pattern, particularly black-and-white wing markings, unlike any other vanga.

Golden Tanager
Tangara arthus
Small tanager found in Andean foothills and subtropical zone from Venezuela to Bolivia. Mostly bright golden-yellow with isolated black ear patch, streaked back, and mostly black wings and tail. Some variation among populations, with northernmost birds showing a chestnut breast band and flanks. Sexes alike; young birds duller yellow. One of the most common tanagers in mixed flocks from around 900–2,200 m, in cloud forest, edges, and gardens.
Blond-crested Woodpecker
Celeus flavescens
Fairly large and strikingly-plumaged woodpecker with a yellow-crested head contrasting with a largely black body which is variably scaled with yellow spots depending on the subspecies, and a yellow rump. Males have a red moustache. Found in both wet and dry forests, usually avoiding the interior, and in wooded savannas.
Mealy Amazon
Amazona farinosa
Large, bright green parrot of humid evergreen forest in tropical lowlands. Uncommon. Found in rainforest and adjacent clearings, not in open habitats. Most often seen flying overhead early and late in the day, usually in pairs. Best field mark is the big pale eyering on a fairly plain head; with a good view, the bluish crown can be seen. Like other parrots in the same genus, in flight shows a red patch on the flight feathers.
