Mountain Peltops

A large green parrot with a massive red bill and prominent yellow markings on the wings. In flight, shows yellow underwings. Found singly or in pairs or small groups within forest, mangroves, and plantations in lowlands and foothills. Distinguished from Blue-backed and Black-lored Parrots by yellow wing markings. Differs from Blue-naped Parrot in yellow underwings and lack of blue on head, and differs from male Eclectus Parrot in lack of red flank patch. Noisy, with varied calls that include harsh shrieks “KEEK-KEEK-KEEK…”, an ear-splitting, grating “ER,” and a high-pitched, rising whistle “keeYIP.”

Scarce, inconspicuous flycatcher of Andean cloud forest. It has olive upperparts, tawny breast, yellow belly, gray eyering, and brown patches in wings. Bill is very wide at the base, though this may not be evident when the bird is seen from the side. Similar to Pacific and Olivaceous Flatbills, but has a tawny breast and is typically found at higher elevations. Typically found perching at fairly low levels in the forest, sometimes at forest edge, and may join mixed-species flocks.

Large rusty brown pigeon with faint pale speckles on its plumage. In flight shows white wing panels, and flies with a loud clattering of wings. Found only on the sandstone areas of the Kimberley and Ord-Victoria regions. Often roosts on high rocky cliffs or on top of sandstone towers; comes down to the sandy ground in the early morning and evening.
