Rufous Limestone Babbler
Gypsophila calcicola
A large and chunky babbler found very locally in limestone hills covered with dry forest. Rufous-brown overall with a black-streaked throat and a white-streaked back. Forages close to the ground, often in and around rocky cracks and crevices. Song is a loud, ringing, rather hoarse-sounding sequence of whistled notes including some repeated phrases, sometimes given as a duet by a pair. Also gives harsh “grrr” notes. Similar to Streaked Wren-Babbler, but larger and longer-tailed, with bolder striping on the throat and no white spots on the shoulder.

Spotted Fantail
Rhipidura perlata
A starburst of vanilla sprinkles across the breast makes this black-and-white fantail unmistakable. Irrepressibly hyperactive, it is often an active member of mixed-species foraging flocks in the middle and upper levels of forest. Song is pleasant and comprises burbling liquid chimes: “chi-ch’ch-chlipchilip-ching”, with the last note having a resonant, pinging quality.
Pink-headed Fruit-Dove
Ptilinopus porphyreus
An absolute gem of a dove, found only in high montane forests. Combination of bright pink head, black-and-white chest band, and leaf-green back is unmistakable. Female averages slightly duller than the male. Juvenile is green overall, with faint yellow feather fringes that fade with age. Like many other fruit-doves, can be difficult to see when perched quietly in the canopy; low, even hoots (sometimes with a blubbering series of higher-pitched notes following) can be frustratingly difficult to pin down.
Banggai Golden-Bulbul
Hypsipetes harterti
A noticeably long-billed thrush-sized bird with an olive head and upperside and uniform yellow underparts. Pairs or small groups inhabit forests, edges, and plantations in the lowlands and foothills. Endemic to the Banggai Islands, where it is the only bulbul present. Vocalizations include a rollicking “cheE-chewoo-chewoo” as well as harsh rasping notes and soft “whip” and bubbling calls.
