Lesser Flamingo
Phoeniconaias minor
The smallest flamingo in the world, with a dark bill and red legs. Note glowing red eyes in adults. Juveniles are gray-brown and darker than young Greater Flamingos. Found in alkaline lakes and coastal lagoons, where gathers in huge flocks to eat microscopic blue-green algae. Breeds on remote flats sheltered from predators. Migrates and breeds in response to changing environmental conditions.

Wood Thrush
Hylocichla mustelina
Boldly patterned thrush is bright rusty-brown above with black spots on the white belly. Smaller than a robin, but larger than Hermit Thrush. Sticks to wooded areas, often hopping on the ground. More often heard than seen: listen for its incredible, flute-like song. Population is declining; winters in Central America.
Banded Broadbill
Eurylaimus javanicus
Deep purplish-red broadbill with bold yellow patches on the wings and tail. Broad-based bill and irises are bright blue. Female is slightly duller than the male, and lacks a black line across the chest. Favors riparian and wet forests from the lowlands up into montane areas, and will visit edges, gardens, and parks. Forages in the canopy, often flying from a perch to do so. More vocal than Black-and-yellow Broadbill, giving long, drawn-out whistles and buzzing trills.
White-breasted Waterhen
Amaurornis phoenicurus
Medium-sized, fairly common chickenlike marsh bird found in meadows, ditches, riversides, marshes, as well as parks and farmlands in close proximity to humans; often seen foraging in the open. Adults are dark slaty above and white below, with a rusty patch under the tail. Juvenile similar but duller in color. Remarkably variable song is a series of hooting, grunting, or rasping notes or phrases, repeated monotonously, often from an exposed perch.
