Diademed Tanager
Stephanophorus diadematus

分类信息
The diademed tanager was formally described and illustrated in 1823 by the Dutch zoologist Coenraad Jacob Temminck under the binomial name Tanagra diademata. The type locality is Curitiba in Brazil. This is now the only species placed in the genus Stephanophorus that was introduced in 1841 by the English naturalist Hugh Edwin Strickland. The genus name combines the Ancient Greek stephanē meaning "diadem" and -phoros meaning "carrying". The specific epithet diadematus is Latin meaning "diademed". The diademed tanager is monotypic: no subspecies are recognised.

Chalk-browed Mockingbird
Mimus saturninus
Large mockingbird found in a variety of open non-forest habitats including urban areas. Brownish-gray above and pale below with a white-tipped tail. Note the conspicuous broad white eyebrow. May become stained by local soils and appear browner. The song is very variable and includes the songs of other species.
Spot-necked Bulbul
Pycnonotus tympanistrigus
Strange-looking small bulbul, endemic to Sumatra’s foothill forests (most common at 600-900 meters). Dull brownish above, with brown-and-white-streaked underparts. Facial pattern is unique, with a frosty white throat contrasting strongly with the egg-yolk-yellow patch and exposed dark facial skin behind each eye. Somewhat similar to Cream-striped Bulbul, but note present species’ much weaker crest, facial pattern, and brown belly and vent. Forages at middle and upper levels of forest, mostly in pairs or small groups; gathers at fruiting trees. Vocalizations soft and unremarkable; song is a bright “jrit’jhew”, while calls include a brief dry trill and quiet pipping notes.
Common Grackle
Quiscalus quiscula
Lanky, fierce-looking, glossy blackbird. A bit larger than a jay; smaller, proportionally longer-tailed and shorter-winged than a crow. Staring yellow eye and long heavy bill (compared to Red-winged Blackbird). Often in flocks with other blackbirds in winter. Forages in fields, scrubby areas, and open woods. Visits feeders.
