Eastern Bearded-Greenbul
Criniger chloronotus
A large greenbul often found in family groups or flocks in forest and forest edge with other bearded-greenbuls. Like all bearded-greenbuls, will sometimes puff out throat feathers. The gray head and chest contrast with the white throat and yellow-green belly. The back is olive-green and the tail is reddish; overall the bird appears to be big-headed and big-billed. Similar to other bearded-greenbuls, but note Eastern Bearded-Greenbul’s distinctive vocalizations, larger size, and contrasting gray chest. Often found by call, which is a haunting, quavering, multi-parted whistle, “huuuur-heeeee.” Other similar variations are sometimes accompanied by chatter.

分类信息
The eastern bearded greenbul was originally described in the genus Hypsipetes. Formerly, some authorities considered the eastern bearded greenbul as conspecific with the western bearded greenbul. Alternate names for the eastern bearded greenbul include the bearded bulbul, Congo bulbul, eastern bearded bulbul, green-backed bulbul, oriental bearded bulbul, white-throated bearded-bulbul, white-throated bearded-greenbul and white-throated bulbul. The latter two alternate names should not be confused with the species of the same name, Alophoixus flaveolus. Both the alternate name 'green-backed bulbul' and the synonym Hypsipetes malaccensis are also shared with the streaked bulbul.

Sooty Shearwater
Ardenna grisea
Medium-sized, dark brown shearwater with silvery flashes on underwings. Narrow wings with quick, deep wingbeats. Widespread and common, especially in the Pacific; can sometimes be seen close to shore. Can be in massive flocks. Extremely similar to Short-tailed Shearwater, but Sooty is heavier and has straighter wings; also look for slightly longer bill and less rounded head. Brown plumage is reminiscent of Flesh-footed Shearwater, but Sooty is narrower-winged and has a smaller, all-dark bill.
Gray-headed Lovebird
Agapornis canus
Dinky, short-tailed green parrot. Males have a gray head, while females are plain green. Found most commonly in dry forest at low elevation in the north and west of Madagascar. Occurs much less commonly in the east and center, and at higher elevations. Uses open forest, scrub, plantations, and other fairly open habitats. Call is a zesty “vhit,” often given in flight.
Andean Ibis
Theristicus branickii
Large, boldly patterned, and often noisy ibis. Uncommon and local. No similar species in range. Favors high-elevation puna grasslands. Loud trumpeting cries carry long distances.
