Mindanao Plumed-Warbler
Micromacronus sordidus
A tiny and uncommon bird of foothill and lower montane forest on Mindanao. Yellowish to off-white below with a small eyebrow mainly in front of the eye, brown upperparts, and a grayish head. Note the reddish eye and the long white plumes sprouting from the sides, lower back, and rump. Somewhat similar to female Little Pied-Flycatcher, but smaller, with white plumes. Voice includes constant high-pitched “seep” notes and a sibilant chatter similar to a white-eye’s.
Curl-crested Manucode
Manucodia comrii
A large, crow-sized bird of wooded habitats on the southeast islands. Black overall with blue iridescence on the shoulder, and purple on the flight feathers and tail. Note the distinctive, dorsally-flattened tail with folded tips and feathered bulge on the head. The only other manucode in range is Trumpet Manucode, but Curl-crested lacks the loose feathers around the neck. Similar size to Torresian Crow but Curl-crested has a dark eye. Song, a remarkable, descending series of hollow notes given while tilting backwards, then rolling its whole body up and over.
Gray-capped Cuckoo
Coccyzus lansbergi
Brightly-colored cuckoo found mainly west of the Andes. Combination of rufous-tawny body and gray separates it from other cuckoos in range. Nests in deciduous forest, dense scrub, and savanna at lower elevations. Outside of the breeding season, it disperses widely and can be seen far from its breeding areas, including at high elevations on rare occasions. Furtive and rarely comes out into the open for long. Song is short series of soft, guttural notes; also gives a harsh churr.
