Moustached Barbet
Psilopogon incognitus
Typical barbet, green with a brightly-colored face. Facial pattern is plainer than some barbets’, but subtly attractive nonetheless: blue overall with red speckles on the edges and black lines through the eye and across the cheek. Forages in foothill and lowland evergreen forests, where it works the canopy for fruits and insects. Song is halting and tremulous, consisting of single notes followed by doubles and triples in an ascending but hesitant-sounding series of hollow trills.
识别特征
The moustached barbet (Psilopogon incognitus) is an Asian barbet. Barbets are a group of near passerine birds with a world-wide tropical distribution. They get their name from the bristles which fringe their heavy bills. The moustached barbet is a resident breeder in the hills of Myanmar, Thailand, Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam. It is a species of broadleaf evergreen forest from 600 to 700 m. It nests in a tree hole. This barbet is 23 cm in length. It is a plump bird, with a short neck, large head and short tail. The bill is dark horn, and the body plumage is green. The adult of the form, P. i. elbeli, which occurs in northern Thailand has a red forehead, green crown with a red spot at the rear, a blue face and throat, and black eyestripe and moustache. The sexes are similar, but the juvenile has a duller, greener head and throat with a narrower moustache.. The other subspecies are nominate P. i. incognitus in Myanmar and western Thailand, and P. i. eurous in east Thailand, Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam. The male's territorial call is a repeated loud u'ik-a-ruk u'ik-a-ruk u'ik-a-ruk.

Ruddy Kingfisher
Halcyon coromanda
Dark rusty-orange kingfisher with thick lipstick-red bill. Bright azure blaze on rump most evident on flying birds. Shy and seldom seen in the open, instead preferring heavily shaded waterways in thick, tangled forests. Gives a loud descending rattle on breeding grounds; wintering birds silent.
Yellow-naped Amazon
Amazona auropalliata
Large, green parrot of tropical lowlands, mainly in drier areas. Uncommon. Found in semiopen areas with forest patches, big trees, and forest edges. Most often seen flying overhead early and late in the day, often fairly high and usually in pairs or loose groups made up of pairs. Note the dark gray bill and overall plain head with a bright yellow nape (yellow reduced or lacking on immatures). Like other parrots in the same genus, in flight shows a red patch on the flight feathers.
Lark Bunting
Calamospiza melanocorys
Chunky, thick-billed sparrow that prefers wide open habitats. Breeding males are unmistakable: mostly jet black with a bold white wing patch. Nonbreeding males and females are overall streaky brown, but still show white wing patch. Always look for the thick silvery bill. Breeds in grasslands, especially shortgrass prairies. In migration and winter, can be found in open areas from grassland to desert to agricultural areas. Sometimes gathers in huge flocks in winter. Usually seen on the ground or perched on a fence.
