分布与栖息地
It is found in tropical moist primary and secondary forest with a large majority up to 1,100 meters above sea level with a few records up to 1.560.<p>IUCN has assessed this bird as Vulnerable with the population estimated to consist of 6,000 to 15,000 mature individuals with it believed to be declining. This species' main threat is habitat loss with wholesale clearance of forest habitats as a result of logging, agricultural conversion, road development and mining activities occurring within the range. It may also suffer from hunting with snares in the Sierra Madre and illicit bird-trapping at Dalton Pass may exert a considerable pressure.<p>It occurs in the protected areas Angat Watershed Forest Reserve, Quezon Protected Landscape, Mount Makiling National Park and Northern Sierra Madre Natural Park however, like most areas in the Philippines, protection is lax and deforestation and hunting persist even in these areas.<p>

Fork-tailed Flycatcher
Tyrannus savana
Striking and conspicuous large flycatcher of savannas, grasslands, and other open country with scattered bushes and trees. All ages have black head and pale gray back, no pink in plumage as in the similar migrant Scissor-tailed Flycatcher. Adult tail is very long with lyre-shaped ribbons; juvenile has shorter tail but still looks distinctive. Perches on fences, low bushes, and even on the ground; at times in small flocks. Flight strong and direct, with tail sweeping behind. Some populations in South America are highly migratory, occasionally turning up far outside their normal range.
Cuzco Brushfinch
Atlapetes canigenis
Dark sparrow-like bird with a restricted range in the Andes of southern Peru. Dark gray with a reddish-orange crown. Forages singly or in pairs on the ground, not usually associating with other species. Extensive gray coloration and red crown distinguish it from other brushfinches within its range. Listen for its song, an emphatic metallic warble: “tseew, suweet.”
Blue Nuthatch
Sitta azurea
Not the only blue nuthatch, but the bluest nuthatch. Unmistakable, with a dark head, pale eyering, white throat and breast, and dark-lined pale blue feathers on the wings. Gives quick, sharp, nasal “tzwp” or “tzwit” notes. Clambers up and down tree trunks, often in small parties; frequent member of mixed-species foraging flocks. Favors montane and hilly forests.
