Groove-billed Toucanet
Aulacorhynchus sulcatus
Small green toucan with bluish ocular area and pale bluish-gray throat. Tail tip tinged blue; bill blackish with dark red (Venezuelan Coastal Cordillera) or yellow (Santa Marta and Andes region). Usually in pairs or small groups, moving or feeding in the canopy. Occurs in humid tropical forests in foothills and highlands. Song a repetitive, raspy croak. Distinguished from Emerald Toucanet and Crimson-rumped Toucanet mainly by green undertail coverts and rump and bluish tail tip.
识别特征
The groove-billed toucanet is 33 to 37 cm (13 to 15 in) long and weighs 130 to 200 g (4.6 to 7.1 oz). Its grooved culmen and mandible give it its English name. In the nominate subspecies and A. s. erythrognathus, most of the bill is wine-red to brown-red with a diagonal black stripe on the mandible. The nominate's bill also has a vertical white stripe at its base. In A. s. calorhynchus the bill is mostly yellow with a reduced amount of black, some orange-red at the base of the mandible, and a white stripe like the nominate's. All subspecies are overall mostly green, with the underparts being lighter and the undertail coverts yellower. The nominate subspecies has a white throat, some gold-bronze on the face, and bare blue skin around the brownish eye. A. s. erythrognathus has essentially the same plumage but with less gold-bronze on the face. A. s. calorhynchus also has similar plumage to the nominate but is larger than it and A. s. erythrognathus.
分类信息
The groove-billed toucanet was originally described in the genus Pteroglossus. The International Ornithological Committee (IOC), the South American Classification Committee of the American Ornithological Society, and the Clements taxonomy recognize these three subspecies:<p>A. s. calorhynchus was formerly treated as a separate species, "yellow-billed toucanet", by most taxonomists but was merged into the groove-billed toucanet starting in 2012. BirdLife International's Handbook of the Birds of the World retains it as a species.<p>Subspecies A. s. erythrognathus might warrant consideration as a separate species because its voice is different from that of the other two subspecies.

分布与栖息地
The subspecies of groove-billed toucanet are found thus:<p>The species primarily inhabits humid montane forest but is also found in semi-open landscapes like secondary forest, forest edges and nearby isolated trees, and gardens. It shuns large open areas. In elevation it mostly ranges between 900 and 2,000 m (3,000 and 6,600 ft) but occurs as low as sea level and as high as about 2,400 m (7,900 ft).

Sumatran Treepie
Dendrocitta occipitalis
A dapper and long-tailed inhabitant of Java’s foothill and montane forests. Warm brown overall, with a silvery nape, dark face, and jet-black wings marked with a small white patch. Extremely long, round-tipped tail is silver-gray above with a dark tip, and predominantly dark below with a pale band near the tip. Forages at all levels of the forest, often hopping amongst leaf clusters and moving between trees in fast, fluttering flight. Calls include coarse grating squawks, a fluid “tlee’lee”, and a series of short hoarse “whurr!” notes.
Cabanis's Wren
Cantorchilus modestus
Small, skulking wren of foothills and lowlands in southern Mexico and Central America. Found in forest edges, second-growth thickets, and brushy fields with cane grass. Heard more often than seen: song relatively short with bright phrases usually repeated a few times in quick succession. Note the bold white eyebrow, whitish breast, rich buffy flanks, and bright rusty tail barred black. Formerly known as Plain Wren.
Duchess Lorikeet
Vini margarethae
Beautiful and unmistakable lorikeet, endemic to the Solomon Islands. Rose-red with green wings and a black-bordered yellow band across the chest. Found in forested and forest edge habitats from lowlands up into the mountains. Forages at flowering and fruiting trees. Gives squeaky and chattery calls as they shoot overhead.
