Black-headed Cuckooshrike

Distinctive spinetail found mainly in the Bolivian Andes, but it also reaches over the border into southern Peru. It has a chestnut back and tail, gray underparts, and a black eyebrow. Crown is tawny in central Bolivia, and white in western Bolivia and southern Peru; this race is similar to the white-capped race of Marcapata Spinetail, but note their different ranges. Inhabits high-elevation forest, especially where there is abundant bamboo. Gives sharp chips either in a descending burst or in a longer, more frenetic series.

A rather small orange-eyed owl with lightly spotted brown upperparts and paler underparts. Prefers well-developed forest, mainly in lowlands, but up to 1500 meters of elevation. Unlikely to overlap in range with any similar species. Vocal range poorly known, but a series of monotone “poop” or “chong” notes is regularly reported. Found from Bougainville, Buka, and Choiseul in the north to Florida Island in the south. Formerly lumped with Guadalcanal, Malaita, and Makira Owls under the name “Solomons Boobook.”

Medium-sized sluggish flycatcher of riverine and disturbed habitats. Key marks are entirely cinnamon plumage and large-headed, plain-faced appearance; bill seems heavy and is entirely black. Sits still, peering about, before sallying to foliage for insects. Inhabits mid-story and understory, often at forest edge. Found in forest along rivers and oxbow lakes, in abandoned plantations, and at savanna edges, usually near water. Similar to Dull-capped Attila but has dark eyes and different voice. Most common calls are various mournful whistles.
