Chestnut-headed Oropendola

Small, green toucan found in cloud forest along the east slope of the Andes. Plumage is mostly green, but note white throat, chestnut tip to the tail, and mostly black bill with thin, white line at base. Some birds have red patches at the tip and base of the bill. Similar to Southern Emerald-Toucanet but lacks yellow in the bill. Usually found high in the canopy, and often gives a repetitive, raspy croak.

Large, long-tailed sparrow with unique color pattern: gray body, fairly bright greenish wings and tail, rufous crown, and white throat. Favors disturbed areas in montane forest and open slopes for breeding. In winter, usually found in dense thickets or mesquite in desert washes. Forages on the ground or in dense shrubs primarily for seeds and insects. Rarely visits feeders. Listen for unique nasal call note.

A medium-sized, long-tailed bird of lowland forest, bamboo, and scrub on Cebu, where it has a preference for valley bottoms. Male is entirely black with a glossy sheen, where the female is sooty gray with a rusty belly. Catches insects on the ground, in the undergrowth, or even on the wing. There are no other species of similar shape and size on Cebu. Song is a series of long, slightly out of tune, often quavering whistles.
