Bare-eyed Myna

Halloween-themed laughingthrush: decked out in black, gray, and orange. Combination of black head, silver ear patch, orange neck and breast, and multicolored wings are unmistakable in range. Bizarrely reminiscent in patterning of much smaller Silver-eared Mesia and Golden-breasted Fulvetta. Inhabits mid- to high-altitude forests, where it rummages around in the understory in small groups. Makes an odd rising, screaming yodel that sounds strangely like the call of an Indian Peafowl.

Large, dark oropendola of mature rainforest. Olive green with reddish brown wings and a bright yellow tail. Bill is black with colorful pink patch at the base and an orange tip. More likely to be found in mature upland forest than the similar Russet-backed Oropendola of open habitats. Nests colonially, building large hanging nests in the crowns of tall trees in the canopy.

An unmistakable, long-tailed, conspicuous myna with a broad orange eyebrow, a pale eye, an ash-gray body, mossy green wings and tail, and a contrasting yellowish rump. Juvenile browner, with a narrower eyebrow and a dark eye. A montane species which frequents the canopy of forest and is usually encountered in pairs or small groups. Confined to Sulawesi. Frequently repeated call is a metallic, wet “wink” given singly or repeatedly.
