Long-billed Rhabdornis
Rhabdornis grandis
A medium-sized, long-billed bird of foothill and montane forest in northern Luzon with a white throat and belly, a brown back, rufous wings and tail, a black mask with a thin white eyebrow above, a gray crown, and brown sides broadly streaked white.

Golden Nightjar
Caprimulgus eximius
Small, pale nightjar of the Sahel zone. Plumage is a beautiful golden with silvery bands. Bold white wing patches and tail corners visible in flight. Nocturnal. Day-roosts on the ground under bushes. Inhabits semi-desert with low shrubs and scattered trees, often in rocky areas. Song is a repeated sequence of rapid disyllabic notes, "k-ku, k-ku, k-ku, k-ku…"
Northern Nutcracker
Nucifraga caryocatactes
Large, distinctive corvid, roughly the size of a Eurasian Jay. Note the long and heavy bill, white-flecked face, and black cap. Note white-spotted dark brown back and sides. Short tail, white vent, and white tail markings evident during undulating, woodpecker-like flight. Inhabits coniferous and mixed forests, from lowlands up into high montane forests. Often stores nuts for the winter. Mostly resident but large numbers may irrupt periodically out of the normal range in response to food shortages. Gives a variety of calls, especially during the breeding season, including harsh grating rasps, as well as quieter “mumbling” calls and mimicry. Formerly grouped with Southern Nutcracker under the more generic “Eurasian Nutcracker.”
Stripe-backed Bittern
Botaurus involucris
Very small, striped buffy heron of wetlands and lake edges with dense reeds and rushes. Boldly striped back pattern is distinctive. In flight shows contrasting broad rusty trailing edge to wings. Usually seen as single birds hidden in reeds or making short flights low over reeds or across patches of open water. Clambers easily and stealthily; hunts from perches over water, where sits patiently before stabbing at fish. Mostly silent.
