Lesser Cuckooshrike

Lalage fimbriata

Medium-sized gray bird (small for a cuckooshrike) with considerable geographic variation. Male averages darkest on the wings, throat, and breast, contrasting more heavily with the rest of the plumage than in the fairly uniform-looking male Indochinese Cuckooshrike. Female is pale gray with fine barring on the underparts. Undertail is black with white-tipped feathers concentrated at the end of the tail; does not appear as evenly graduated as in the larger Black-winged Cuckooshrike, and is less extensively white-tailed than Indochinese Cuckooshrike. Forages in the upper levels of forests and forest edge in lowland and hilly areas, often as part of mixed-species flocks. Song begins with a few clear tinkling notes, then transitions into a loud, insistent “jeh, jeh, jeh, jeh”.

Red-flanked Lorikeet

Red-flanked Lorikeet

Hypocharmosyna placentis

A small, long-tailed green parrot with a dark cheek patch and red in the tail. Males possess a red throat and flanks that are absent in females. Males show violet-blue cheeks that are streaked in females. Juveniles resemble females. Found in groups in forest, edges, plantations, mangroves, and varied wooded areas in lowlands and foothills. Male differs from Red-fronted Lorikeet in showing a red throat and extensive red flanks, and both sexes differ in lacking a red forecrown and showing red in the tail. Separated from Red-chinned Lorikeet by the dark ear patches in both sexes, and red flanks in male. Gives shrill, high-pitched screeches and chattering notes.

Sulawesi Nightjar

Sulawesi Nightjar

Caprimulgus celebensis

A long-tailed, boldly patterned nightjar with extensive gray markings on the upperparts, bold buff, black, and white markings, and a white throat. In flight, shows prominent white patches on outer wings and tail. Inhabits lowland forest, edge, scrub, and mangroves. Confined to Sulawesi and the Sula islands. Distinguished from the montane Diabolical Nightjar by its lowland habitat, paler plumage, extensive white in tail, and lack of a buff collar. Tail is longer than Savanna Nightjar’s. Gives a distinctive, explosive “tok-tok-toktrrtrr” call that speeds up, then decreases  in volume at the end.
