Pale-legged Leaf Warbler

Phylloscopus tenellipes

Small songbird, dull brownish-olive above, pale below, with prominent white supercilium, black eyeline, and faint, narrow wingbars. Vertical tail pumping distinguishes this species from most others in its range except Sakhalin Leaf Warbler. Favors the lower stories of vegetation more than most other leaf warblers, often descending down to the ground while foraging. A high-pitched cricket-like trill of a song distinguishes this species from the nearly identical Sakhalin on migration (no overlap in breeding range). Calls of the two species are similar, and can only be differentiated reliably using a spectrogram; Pale-legged’s call is marginally higher in frequency. Breeds in sparsely wooded areas, particularly in valleys and hills; can be seen in a wide range of wooded habitats outside of breeding period.

Black-casqued Hornbill

Black-casqued Hornbill

Ceratogymna atrata

A gigantic black hornbill of African rainforests, often seen or heard in the canopy feeding on fruiting trees. Undertakes seasonal movements, and can be surprisingly common at certain times of year and absent in others. The male is a large black hornbill with a large black bill. Females have much smaller, paler bills with a brownish hood over their head and neck. Tail is long and black with a white tip, a feature that separates this species from other large hornbills within its range.. Voice is a loud braying wail that can be heard from several kilometers away.

Flores Sea Cuckoo-Dove

Flores Sea Cuckoo-Dove

Macropygia macassariensis

A large, long-tailed dove with buff underparts barred from throat to undertail and uniformly earth-brown upperparts. Male shows a brown nape and head, females a pale head and a barred nape. Juvenile like female. Found in forested lowlands and forest edge. A recently described species restricted to a handful of islands in the Flores Sea, and possibly southwest Sulawesi too, where the completely barred underside of Flores Sea Cuckoo-Dove would distinguish it from Sultan’s Cuckoo-Dove. Gives a single-noted, burry “wooooaaa.”

Yellow-eyed Starling
