Philippine Jungle Flycatcher

Cyornis ruficauda

Drab, medium-sized flycatcher with a long slender bill. Endemic to the central and southern Philippines, from the eastern Visayas south to Mindanao and Basilan. Look for a warm rufous tail, white throat, and diffusely brown-washed chest. Inhabits lowland and foothill forests, where it forays from a low perch in the understory or forest edge. Generally unobtrusive and difficult to spot in dark understory, but listen for its song, a jumbled series of high and squeaky notes often interspersed with short buzzes. Formerly grouped with Crocker Jungle Flycatcher and Sulu Jungle Flycatcher under “Chestnut-tailed Jungle Flycatcher.”

Puff-throated Bulbul

Puff-throated Bulbul

Alophoixus pallidus

A large crested bulbul of tropical forests, usually found in the canopy foraging on berries. Body is a light yellow-green, while the wings, tail, and crown are brown. “Puff” of the white throat is slight and not an obvious feature. In the northwestern part of its range, it overlaps with the similar White-throated Bulbul, which has a more scraggly crest, more extensive white on the throat and face, and olive-green wings. Chatters with explosively harsh and barking quality; groups can be very loud and cacophonous.

Black-capped Gnatcatcher

Black-capped Gnatcatcher

Polioptila nigriceps

Long-tailed little bird of dry forest and scrub in northwest Mexico. Found as singles, pairs, or family groups, usually foraging at low to middle levels. Breeding plumage male (March–August) has black cap, but other plumages very similar to Blue-gray Gnatcatcher, a common migrant throughout the range of Black-capped. These species best separated by call note: Black-capped has lower and rougher call than mew of Blue-gray. Also note Blue-gray often has a pinkish base to its smaller bill (gray on Black-capped), a more distinct white eyering (face a little more "open" on Black-capped), and a shorter, less strongly graduated tail.
