Spotted Morning-Thrush

Cichladusa guttata

A boldly marked thrush-like bird with a brown back, a rufous tail, and white underparts heavily spotted with black. Found in areas of dense undergrowth within savanna, woodland, and scrub habitats. A fairly shy species that feeds on the ground, though it can sometimes be tame around lodges. Somewhat similar to scrub-robins, but easily separated by the lack of white in the wings and tail. Most easily detected by song: a rollicking, musical, whistled combination of repeated notes and short repeated phrases that can also incorporate imitations of other species and is often given as a duet by a pair.

Maroon Oriole

Maroon Oriole

Oriolus traillii

Large, pale-eyed songbird of lower and middle elevations of montane forests. Male blood red with inky black head and wings and dark bill; female similar but less richly colored. Juvenile brown above, pale with dark stippling below, paler bill, and tawny undertail coverts. Birds in Taiwan and central Vietnam are much brighter red overall. Usually seen in pairs or small flocks, sometimes with mixed-species flocks. Pairs often engage in an ethereal duet: male gives a series of melodic notes, to which the female responds with a long, airy whistle. Also gives harsh, rasping calls.

Tanimbar Oriole

Tanimbar Oriole

Oriolus decipiens

A dull brown oriole with a lighter head and a dark feathered face patch. Singles and pairs inhabit middle to upper levels of forest, woodlands, mangroves, and cultivated areas in lowlands and foothills. Confined to the Tanimbar Islands. Considerably smaller than Tanimbar Friarbird, with a more rounded head shape, a straighter bill with a slightly thicker tip, and no naked facial skin. Ringing call composed of flutey phrases, “we-we-weOW” and “churWOOW,” with first chur notes being rasping.

Philippine Eagle-Owl

Philippine Eagle-Owl

Ketupa philippensis

A large owl of lowland and foothill forest, including secondary habitat and plantations. Warm brown with a heavily marked back, a heavily streaked rufous head and chest, and a more sparsely streaked pale belly. Note the square-shaped head with flattened ear tufts and the yellow eyes. Unmistakable. No other owls of similar size occur in its range. Gives a long, drawn-out, spooky whistled note whose pitch rises slightly, then falls at the end.
