Eastern Barn Owl
Tyto javanica
Medium-sized owl with a heart-shaped facial disc and deep dark eyes. Varies somewhat across a wide range, but always note white-and-black speckling on the upperparts, beautiful gray-and-tawny wings, and large round head with ghostly white facial disc. Compared with various other masked-owls and grass-owls that overlap in range, Eastern Barn generally has a brighter white face. Hunts in open areas by night, foraging with a slow and buoyant flight. Roosts in old buildings, tree hollows, caves, and nest boxes by day. Gives a bone-chilling, rising shriek, as well as shorter rasping calls.

White-chinned Myzomela
Myzomela albigula
A small honeyeater of wooded habitats on New Guinea’s SE Islands. Dull brown color with streaky breast, pale throat and long, curved bill. Male has a thin, vertical, red line down its throat, and some areas, males lack the white throat. The only other myzomela in range is the Papuan Black Myzomela, but White-chinned has a streaked chest. Gives a rather jumbled, whistled song. Call, a simple high-pitch “chip”.
Somali Fiscal
Lanius somalicus
A small black, white, and gray shrike. The sexes look similar. Note the white patches at the bottom middle and near the end of the wing. Along with the white outer tail, these can be conspicuous in flight. Found in dry savanna and grassland. Perches up conspicuously, often in pairs. Very similar to Taita Fiscal, but has multiple white patches on each wing instead of just one. The repetitive vocalizations include scratchy notes, usually higher and rougher than those of Taita Fiscal, often delivered in a rising pattern.
Rufous-breasted Warbling Finch
Poospiza rubecula
Rare and endangered bird found at high elevations in the western Andes of northern and central Peru. Note the black mask and the reddish-orange eyebrows, throat, and breast. Similar to Rufous-browed Hemispingus of the eastern Andes, but eyebrows are shorter and connect over the bill. Young birds mostly lack the mask and eyebrow and are heavily streaked below. Inhabits scrub and stunted woodland.
