Scaly-breasted Illadopsis
Illadopsis albipectus
A chunky, mid-sized, remarkably drab babbler. Most birds show some darker scaling on the breast, though this is difficult to see without a good view. Found in the understory of rainforest at low and middle elevations. Shy and skulking; rarely seen unless searched for. Very similar to other illadopsises, and most readily distinguished by voice, though scaly-breasted birds are distinctive. Most often detected by voice. The distinctive song is far less variable than that of many other illadopsis species. It consists of one or two introductory “tek” notes followed by three or four whistles in a rising pattern, often repeated for long periods.

Striped Kingfisher
Halcyon chelicuti
A small and dainty woodland-dwelling kingfisher with powder-blue tail and flight feathers, creamy collar, dark eye-stripe, and streaky brown crown. Singles and pairs are inconspicuous in the mid-canopy of parkland-like savanna and woodland, preferring more arid thornveld than other dryland kingfishers. It draws attention to itself with a loud, ringing “teeep-tiiii-rrrrrrr” and rollicking “trrreerrr-treeerr-treeer” calls.
Reddish Hermit
Phaethornis ruber
Tiny and charismatic hermit hummingbird. Note a very contrasting black mask. Dark-olive above and cinnamon below and on the rump. Males have an incomplete black breast band and a shorter tail and wings than females. Common in the lower strata of forests and forest edges where it is fond of Heliconia flowers.
Channel-billed Cuckoo
Scythrops novaehollandiae
Gigantic cuckoo, with a red eyering and enormous pale beak. A mostly pale gray bird, with darker wings and tail. Flies around in the early morning calling strongly, and typically roosts in fruiting fig trees. Lays its eggs in the nests of other species, especially Torresian Crow and Pied Currawong. Spends the middle of the year in eastern Indonesia and New Guinea. Migrates to northern and eastern Australia over the austral summer.
