Mindanao Hornbill
Penelopides affinis
A fairly large bird of lowland and foothill forest on Mindanao and neighboring islands. Small for a hornbill. Bill fairly short with black bands. Has a shaggy crest at the back of the head, black wings, a black base and tip to the tail with a buffy central part, and bluish bare skin around the face and chin. Male has pale underparts and head with a black cheek, while female is entirely black with deeper blue facial skin. Female is similar to female Writhed Hornbill, but smaller, and lacks the red bill. Voice is a short, medium-pitched honk, reminiscent of a squeaky toy.

Yellow Wattlebird
Anthochaera paradoxa
A very large honeyeater. The adult has black and white streaking on the head, a gray body, a yellow belly, long yellow facial wattles, and a very long tail with a white tip. Juveniles are much less colorful and lack the long yellow wattles. Found in a wide range of habitats across eastern and central Tasmania, to which it is endemic.
Brasilia Tapaculo
Scytalopus novacapitalis
Small gray bird, typically fiendishly difficult to see in swampy gallery forest with ferns. Plump, with a short tail; note the cinnamon and black bars on vent. Like many tapaculos, the song is a long and monotonous repetition, in this case of a single “ewk” note.
