Abyssinian Longclaw
Macronyx flavicollis
A large and relatively colorful member of the pipit family. Note the black necklace, orange throat, and partially yellow eye-stripe. The white corners of the black tail are conspicuous during the weak, fluttering flight. Found on the ground in montane grassland, often in wet areas. Brownish immatures can be confused with pipits, but are larger and more robust. The vocalizations include “tsik” calls and whistles.

Philippine Hawk-Cuckoo
Hierococcyx pectoralis
A fairly large bird of lowland and montane forest. Dark gray-brown above with a rather long barred tail, a rufous chest, a gray hood, and a white throat. Juvenile has a white chest with dark flecks. Note the yellow eye-ring and base to the black bill. Omnivorous, feeding on both insects and also sometimes berries. Somewhat similar to Plaintive Cuckoo, but larger. Voice is the safest identification feature. Song is a repeated, descending series of forceful whistled notes, sometimes becoming frantic.
Yellow-tufted Honeyeater
Lichenostomus melanops
A small to medium-sized honeyeater with a bright yellow chin and crown and bold black cheeks. Note the namesake small yellow tufts behind the ear. Gregarious and usually seen in groups; often aggressive towards other birds. Typically found in woodland areas around the southeast parts of Australia.
MacGillivray's Warbler
Geothlypis tolmiei
Chunky, skulking warbler that favors dense undergrowth. Yellow below and olive above with blue-gray head and chest. Blacker lores set off distinctive white arcs above and below eye. Adult males show darkest head; females and immatures have paler gray head and whitish throat. Found in thickets, clearcuts, open mixed forests, and riparian zones. Breeds primarily in mountainous regions of western North America; winters from Mexico to Costa Rica. Compare with Mourning Warbler, but little range overlap, and note longer tail and white eye-arcs on MacGillivray’s.
