Purple-naped Lory
Lorius domicella
Unmistakable: a red parrot with a diagnostic dark cap, forest-green wings, and a slim yellow necklace. Juveniles show a broader yellow band, more violet on nape, and a brown bill (red in adults). Secretive pairs occupy hill forest on the island of Seram. The only red parrot in its range with a dark cap, green wings, and a yellow necklace. Gives harsh screeches and raptor-like whistles.

分类信息
The purple-naped lory was formally described by the Swedish naturalist Carl Linnaeus in 1758 in the tenth edition of his Systema Naturae under the binomial name Psittacus domicella. The specific epithet domicella is Medieval Latin meaning "damsel". Linnaeus based his description on "The second Black-capped Lory" that had been described and illustrated in 1751 by the English naturalist George Edwards in his book A Natural History of Uncommon Birds. The specimen had been brought to London from the East Indies and Edwards was able made a drawing of it at the home of the naturalist and collector Hans Sloane. Linnaeus specified the locality as "Asia", but this is now taken to be Ambon Island in the Maluku Islands. The purple-naped lory is now placed in the genus Lorius that was introduced in 1825 by the Irish zoologist Nicholas Aylward Vigors. The species is monotypic: no subspecies are recognised.

Imperial Cormorant (Crozet)
Leucocarbo atriceps melanogenis
An attractive Southern Ocean crested and pied cormorant with white wingbars, pinkish feet, orange-buff warty caruncles on the forehead, and a blue eye-ring. Juvenile is duller, lacking facial ornaments. Restricted to a handful of subantarctic islands, where it forages in inshore waters; uncommon resident on Prince Edward, Marion and Crozet islands, where it is the only cormorant. Call is a grunting wheeze.
Beryl-spangled Tanager
Tangara nigroviridis
Small tanager found in Andean subtropical zone from Venezuela to Bolivia. Unmistakable: entire body boldly spotted with bright blue-green, sharply contrasting with black mask and back. No other tanager has such a spangled appearance. Sexes alike. A fairly common member of mixed flocks from around 1,500–2,500 m, within forest and also at edges or in second growth.
Hainan Blue Flycatcher
Cyornis hainanus
A small flycatcher found in the midstory of both wooded and bamboo forests in lowland and hill regions. In much of range, male is dazzling sapphire-blue with a dirty-white belly; lack of other markings or warm coloration distinguishes it from other flycatchers. In western parts of the range (formerly treated as a subspecies of Blue-throated Flycatcher), males have an orange upper breast and “notch” in the otherwise blue lower throat. Female is brown with a pale orange throat and chest. Often joins mixed flocks. Song is a short but pleasant and generally descending high-pitched series, typically incorporating whistled and trilled phrases. Call is sharp “tsik-tsik-tsik”, akin to scissors snipping.
