Moluccan Flycatcher
Myiagra galeata
Male is a black-and-white songbird with a uniform blackish-blue upperside and gleaming white underparts. Female and juvenile are gray above with a peach wash on throat and breast. Usually found in pairs in lowlands and foothills, inhabiting a variety of habitats with trees, like mangroves, plantations, and forest edge, typically in the understory and subcanopy. Male Moluccan Flycatcher distinguished from female Shining Flycatcher by uniformly dark back. White throat distinguishes male from Black-chinned and Black-tipped Monarchs. Gives a strident, ringing, uniformly-pitched “wit-wit-wit-wit-wit” song as well as rasping, metallic “wheer” calls.

Chestnut-crowned Foliage-gleaner
Automolus rufipileatus
Common foliage-gleaner of dense vegetation and forest edges. Reddish brown with a pale yellow-orange eye and a straight, heavy bill. Favors forest edges, young forests, streams, and rivers. Extremely secretive and difficult to see as it forages in dense vegetation and vine tangles singly or in pairs. Plain reddish brown coloration and light eye help distinguish it from other foliage-gleaners. Song is often heard around dawn, a descending trill about a second long.
Reed Cormorant
Microcarbo africanus
A small, speckle-backed cormorant that is common and widespread in fresh water. The adult is blackish with a short black crest above the bill. Immatures are brownish with paler underparts. Although they share the same habitat with Great Cormorant, Long-tailed Cormorants can be separated by their much smaller size, red eyes, and proportionately longer tails. Generally, Long-tailed Cormorant avoids the marine habitats of the similar-looking Crowned Cormorant, which has a larger crest, an unspeckled back, and a shorter tail.
White-tailed Cotinga
Xipholena lamellipennis
Astonishingly beautiful cotinga. Males are glossy black with white wings and tail. Females are gray with a lightly mottled breast and white edges to the flight feathers. Note the white eyes in both sexes. Occurs in humid forest, where it is usually detected perched high in the canopy or in fruiting trees at the forest edge. The call is a loud “purp.” The female is very difficult to separate from female Pompadour Cotinga, but ranges do not overlap.
