Black-necked Stilt
Himantopus mexicanus
Elegant shorebird with exceptionally long, bright pink legs. Distinctive black-and-white plumage and thin black bill. Male is glossier black above, female is slightly browner. Some variation across range: darker neck in Hawaii; whiter crown and more extensive white collar in southern South America. Widespread and fairly common throughout the Americas, although rare or absent from much of the eastern U.S. Usually seen in pairs or small flocks, foraging in shallow ponds or marshes.

Banded White-eye
Zosterops vellalavella
Small. Olive-green above and on crown, with a thin white eye-ring. Throat and base of undertail strongly yellow. Has an olive chest band. Belly gray. Bill and legs vivid orange. Found in forested areas, scrub, and gardens. Call is a strong “tse.” Song is a slow musical phrase of mostly downslurred whistles.
Rose-throated Becard
Pachyramphus aglaiae
Rather chunky, big-headed bird with a bushy crest. Male varies from pale gray (in drier areas) to dark slaty gray (in rainforest); pink throat patch absent in darkest rainforest birds. Female also variable, but always has bushy blackish cap. Young male looks like female with variable pink on throat. Widespread in tropical and subtropical areas in Middle America, also locally in the highlands. Favors woodland and forest edge, but also found in brushy fields, hedgerows, and most habitats with a scattering of larger trees; often at fruiting trees. Feeds rather sluggishly, often craning its head back and forth deliberately.
Mantanani Scops-Owl
Otus mantananensis
Small owl of small offshore islands in the western Philippines and northern Borneo. Plumage varies somewhat by population and ranges from gray to rufous-brown. Note black edge to facial disc, pale face, and short ear tufts. Inhabits forest and edge in lowland and foothill areas. Male gives a gruff, somewhat nasal-sounding bark.
