分类信息
The brown lory is one of three species in the genus Chalcopsitta. Within the genus, it is basal to the two other species.<p>The generic name comes from the Greek khalkos, meaning bronze, and the Modern Latin psitta, meaning parrot. The specific epithet commemorates the Dutch merchant Maarten Dirk van Renesse van Duivenbode.<p>The species is monotypic. Populations from northeastern New Guinea are sometimes treated as a distinct subspecies, C. d. syringanuchalis, on the basis of differences in plumage. Birds from the Sepik River area have also been proposed as a separate subspecies C. d. intermedia, but are almost universally subsumed into the nominate or (where two subspecies are recognised) into syringanuchalis.

Australian Owlet-nightjar
Aegotheles cristatus
Smallest Australian nocturnal bird, primarily gray-brown with large eyes, relatively long tail, and "whiskers" on the face. During the day, usually seen only if one is peering out of a roosting hollow. Small size and near lack of eyeshine make this species also difficult to locate at night; the call, a loud, brief "chew," is the best way to locate one.
Japanese Woodpecker
Picus awokera
The only green-backed woodpecker in the region, found in deciduous and evergreen broadleaf forests in mountains. Plumage unmistakable, with green upperparts and numerous neat spots on the belly. Gives distinctive, robust “pyo pyo” whistles, in addition to “kyo kyo” calls extremely similar to some other woodpeckers. Drumming is fast and long.
Eastern Yellow-billed Barbet
Trachylaemus purpuratus
A large brightly colored barbet of forests and forest edges. Distinctive with its bright yellow bill and eye ring, dark head, back, and tail, and bright yellow belly with dark patches along the sides. Found in rainforest and lower montane forest, usually in the understory, and especially in treefall gaps, and along forest edges. Voice consists of a low “oop” or “op-oop” given in slow succession, sometimes for several minutes.
