Luzon Redstart
Phoenicurus bicolor
A fairly small bird of fast-flowing streams through foothill and montane forest or scrub. Slaty-blue with a rufous belly and tail. Female is a duller version of the male. Somewhat similar in color to Blue-headed Fantail, but has a shorter tail and is usually restricted to streams. Also similar to Blue Rock-Thrush, but smaller, with a dark tail. Song is a slightly ascending series of notes run together to sound like a quavering whistle.

分布与栖息地
It inhabits the sides of clean, fast-flowing mountain streams and rivers, above 300 m. Adjacent habitat includes tropical montane forest, pine forest or just scrub and scattered trees. Records from Dalton Pass between August and December indicate that some birds wander post-breeding.<p>IUCN has assessed this bird as near-threatened with the population estimated at 2,500 to 9,999 mature individuals and continuing to decline. Its main threat is habitat degradation caused by pollution of its streams through mining and dumping of trash and agro-chemicals. It is also affected by legal and illegal logging and conversion of forest into farmland.<p>It occurs in a few protected areas such as Northern Sierra Madre Natural Park, Maria Aurora National Park, Balbalasang-Balbalan National Park, Mount Pulag National Park and Mt. Iglit-Baco National Park (which is also the stronghold of the Tamaraw). However, as with most areas in the Philippines, protection from hunting and illegal logging is lax.<p>Conservation actions proposed include surveys of suitable mountain streams to clarify its distribution, population status and the influence of pollution and siltation on population. Research its ecological requirements and seasonal movements to facilitate conservation planning. Propose formal protection for other key sites. Stricted enforcement on controlling river pollution, mining and logging. Monitor water quality and habitat conditions in areas downstream of mining operations. Campaign for a ban on mining in key areas for this species.

Blue-shouldered Robin-Chat
Cossypha cyanocampter
A colorful robin-chat of humid forest habitats. The head is strikingly patterned, with a black cap and cheek, a white eyebrow, and an orange throat. The shoulder has a pale blue patch that can be largely or completely obscured. The tail has a dark center and broad orange sides. Found in the understory of various types of forest at low and middle elevations, including rainforest, gallery forest, and secondary forest. Similar to White-browed Robin-Chat, though generally found in more forested environments. Separated by the blue shoulder and the different and far more variable song. The song is a complex, variable, and musical mix of whistles and many other types of notes that usually also includes imitations of other birds.
Crag Chilia
Ochetorhynchus melanurus
Endemic to rocky hillsides and valleys in central Chile; usually found in foothills with low cliffs or crags where it nests in crevices. Runs well on the ground and clambers in bushes. Moves easily across rock faces with its mostly black tail held slightly cocked or fanned and held low to show its bright rusty tail base. Also note the bright white bib, slender straight bill, and rusty wing patch.
Melanesian Kingfisher
Todiramphus tristrami
A Collared-type kingfisher found on a broad band of islands northeast of New Guinea, ranging from the Bismarck Archipelago east to Guadalcanal in the Solomons. Varies across range; note blue-green upperparts, pale collar, slender dark mask, and bicolored bill. Compare with Sacred Kingfisher; Melanesian averages darker and bluer above. Inhabits a range of island habitats, often in coastal regions but also well inland, especially in areas without other kingfishers. Listen for loud, harsh, far-carrying calls.
