Tanimbar Monarch
Carterornis castus
A striking black-and-white songbird with diagnostic bold white markings on the black face and a broad white panel in the black wings. Outer tail feathers white, and underparts white except for black throat. Female shows more extensive white facial markings and a rose flush to breast. Singles or pairs can be found high in forests of the lowlands and foothills, regularly joining mixed-species flocks. Unique within range in Tanimbar Islands. Song is a stuttering, rising “w’w’witcheuwit.” Also gives a shorter “witcheu” and characteristic monarch rasping calls, “grrrt-grrrt.”

Meadow Pipit
Anthus pratensis
Fairly common to common in open grassy habitats, from moorland and bogs to rough grassland and pastures. Mostly inconspicuous, small streaky brown bird. When flushed, note slightly bounding flight and white sides to tail. All pipits look rather similar and are best identified to species by combination of habitat and voice: Meadow Pipit call a high, slightly lisping "sip" and "sip-it" (or "pip-it").
Kauai Amakihi
Chlorodrepanis stejnegeri
An uncommon Hawaiian honeycreeper of forests on Kauai. Males are bright yellow and females are grayer. Larger and thicker-billed than amakihis on other islands. Occurs in native forest above 3,000 feet elevation in the understory and forest canopy where it searches for nectar, insects, and fruit. Song is a trill that does not change in pitch or speed. Call is a nasal “chee.”
Brown-rumped Minivet
Pericrocotus cantonensis
Small gray-brown minivet. Male has bright white face with a dark gray nape and a slender line through the eye. Female has a less contrasting facial pattern. Both sexes are gray above and buffy brownish-white below. Similar to Ashy Minivet, but note Brown-rumped’s brown rump and “stained” underparts. Brown-rumped is found in lowland and foothill wooded areas, often in flocks in winter. Often encountered flying overhead; listen for their bubbling metallic trills.
