Yellow-browed Bunting
Emberiza chrysophrys
Small, modestly attractive bunting of brushy areas and open forests. Brown overall with a paler belly and bright yellow-suffused supercilium. Male has mostly black head, female has a predominantly brown head, but the sexes are otherwise rather similar. Head pattern recalls Rustic and Tristram's Buntings, but neither has yellow in the supercilium. Largely solitary, but may appear in small flocks on migration.
识别特征
The yellow-browed bunting (Emberiza chrysophrys) is a passerine bird in the bunting family Emberizidae, a group now separated by most modern taxonomists from the finches (Fringillidae). The genus name Emberiza is from Old German Embritz, a bunting. The specific chrysophrys is from Ancient Greek khrusophrus, "golden-browed". It breeds in eastern Siberia and is migratory, wintering in central and southern China. It is a very rare wanderer to western Europe. The yellow-browed bunting breeds in the taiga zone, and lays four eggs in an arboreal nest. In the wild, the adults' diet consists of seeds, but they feed insects to nestlings. This bird is smaller than a reed bunting, but is relatively large-headed. The upper parts are brown and heavily streaked, and the underparts are white with an orange hue on the flanks and some fine dark streaks. Their stout beaks are pink. The breeding male has a black head with white crown and moustachial stripes and throat. There is a bright yellow eyebrow stripe. Females and young birds have a weaker head pattern, with brown instead of black, and can be confused with little buntings; however, there is always some yellow in the eyebrow, as well as at least a hint of a white stripe on the crown.

Lesser Racket-tailed Drongo
Dicrurus remifer
An ebony shadow trailing obsidian tresses. Medium-sized drongo with two extravagantly long tail feathers tipped with plumes, the shape of which vary throughout its range. Glossy black overall with red eyes. Juvenile duller and lacks streamers. Can be confused with the larger Greater Racket-tailed Drongo, but Lesser is crestless and oddly flat-headed, with a more square-ended tail. Inhabits mid- to high-altitude tropical forests, where it forages primarily under closed canopies, not venturing out into the open as frequently as Greater Racket-tailed. Joins mixed flocks. Impressive vocal range, giving highly variable songs that include bouncy hoots, ringing whistles, and harsh nasal notes, among others; also mimics other species.
Australasian Darter
Anhinga novaehollandiae
Large, slim waterbird with distinctive long straight bill. Swims snake-like with body submerged, and just its head and neck protruding from the water. In flight it can sometimes look like a large raptor, especially when soaring, but note the long neck and bill. Common around waterways, where it perches on trees and branches above the water, often holding its wings out to dry.
Brown-throated Barbet
Psilopogon corvinus
Unique large barbet of western Java. Leaf-green with a dark bill and an earth-brown head. Restricted to montane and foothill forests (800-2000 meters). Like other barbets, slow-moving and difficult to spot; look for them at fruiting trees, where individuals or groups may gather. Song is a ringing series of four hollow hoots, sometimes preceded by a trill: “woodoodoodoo!”
