分布与栖息地
Its natural habitats at tropical moist lowland primary forest and secondary forest up to 1,000 meters above sea level.<p>The IUCN Red List has assessed this bird as vulnerable with the population being estimated at 2,500 to 9,999 mature individuals. Extensive lowland deforestation on all islands in its range is the main threat. Most remaining lowland forest that is not afforded protection leaving it vulnerable to both legal and Illegal logging, conversion into farmlands through Slash-and-burn and mining. Its preference for low altitudes suggests that it must have suffered population losses with the loss of lowland forest in the Philippines.<p>Conservation actions proposed are further surveys to better understand distribution and population status in remaining habitat. It is also recommended that protection in existing protected areas be improved and other key habitats be formally protectef.

Long-tailed Glossy Starling
Lamprotornis caudatus
A large, extremely long-tailed, dark and glossy starling. Sometimes looks black, but in good light shows iridescence that is mostly blue-green, with a purple belly and tail. Found in a wide variety of savanna habitats as well as in cultivated areas. Often on the ground, typically in small flocks. Similar to Rüppell's Starling, but longer-tailed and more blue-green overall. The loud and complex vocalizations include a mix of rattles, scratches, and piercing whistles.
Great Gray Owl
Strix nebulosa
A large enigmatic owl of bogs, meadows, and coniferous forest. This rare and sought-after species is most often seen hunting around dawn and dusk, when it perches silently at the edges of clearings. Feeds mainly on voles. When vole populations crash, Great Grays can be found in large numbers south of their usual northern haunts, especially in winter. Yellow eyes and white bow-tie pattern on neck separate Great Gray from Barred. Its deep hoots are rarely heard.
Carbonated Sierra Finch
Rhopospina carbonaria
Plump tanager of arid lowlands in central Argentina, chiefly in northern Patagonian scrub. Similar to larger Mourning Sierra-Finch, but Carbonated has a less deeply curved top of bill, extensive black on underparts, and, in males, a pure yellow bill.
