Rufous-naped Ground-Tyrant

A fairly small owl of lower-elevation montane forest on Luzon. Dark brown on the head, chest, and upperparts, with barred flight feathers. Eyebrows, beard, and belly whitish, with some patterning. Overlaps geographically with Philippine Scops-Owl, but Luzon is smaller, usually found at higher elevation, and has yellow rather than orange-brown eyes. Voice includes a single slightly rising then falling whistled note, repeated at intervals.

Large, dark sparrow with extensive geographic variation. Larger than Song Sparrow, and generally darker with thicker streaking. Four groups of subspecies: Red (only subspecies found in eastern U.S., but breeds to Alaska), Slate-colored (Rockies), Sooty (Pacific Northwest), Thick-billed (California). Habitat varies across range, but generally breeds in forests with thick understory, often with plenty of conifers. In winter, tends to occur in dense thickets. Forages mainly on the ground in search of seeds. Visits feeders.

A large eagle with a bright white head and underside and a chocolate-brown back and uppertail. In flight, appears entirely white except for bold dark bars and tips on outer wings and tail. A rare eagle of forested lowlands and foothills, restricted to several of the Lesser Sundas islands. Larger than immature Rufous-bellied Eagle, with bolder tail bars, an all-white head, and noticeably bulging inner wings, unlike Rufous-bellied. Differs from Short-toed Snake-Eagle in its lack of dark markings on underside of forewing and its clean white underparts.
