Three-banded Warbler

An attractive, fierce-eyed babbler of tropical lowland and lower montane rainforest. Black head with prominent, long, white eyebrow, white from the throat to mid-belly, contrasting strongly with remaining dark maroon body. Note the slightly decurved, horn-colored bill. Forages singly or in pairs through the midstorey, sometimes joining mixed species flocks. Unmistakable if seen well. Calls variable, but commonly gives a soft “wu-tu” with a rising “whip!” before or after. A second bird sometimes follows with a long sputtering series of notes.

Very large dark brown-and-white owl with underparts heavily marked with dark chevrons and enormous yellow feet. Found around coastal south-eastern Australia. Roosts in large trees along creeks, gullies, in dense woodland and forest. Call is a loud double-hoot with second note slightly higher than the first.

A unique fruit dove with a diagnostic combination of a large red knob above the bill, a large orange belly patch, and gray shoulder spots. Restricted to lowland forest, particularly secondary and degraded forest patches, where it often perches in the open but is deceptively well camouflaged. Could potentially be mistaken for Red-knobbed Imperial-Pigeon, but is much smaller, with a bright green body. Voice is little known, but sometimes gives a drawn-out, four-noted “whooOOoo-hu-ooo-huu.”
