Togian Boobook
Ninox burhani
A medium-sized brown owl with piercing yellow eyes, confined to the Togian Islands. Cryptically patterned, with a mottled breast, an unmarked pale lower belly, indistinct white eyebrows, and widely scattered white markings on wings. Pairs inhabit forests of lowlands and hills, also occurring in slightly modified habitats. Migrant Northern Boobook visits these islands too; Togian Boobook differs in its finer markings below, pale belly, widespread white markings on wings, and understated white eyebrows. Frog-like vocalizations are unlike those of any owl in region: a grating, but explosive “grrrrr-wow-waow.”

Narrow-tailed Starling
Poeoptera lugubris
A starling with a piercing gaze that is not easily forgotten, often found in flocks high in fruiting trees in forests, primarily in the lowlands but sometimes high in the mountains. Males are a glossy purple-black all over with a long, pointed tail, and females are a duller gray-black all over with a short tail. Both sexes have bright yellow eyes that contrast starkly with their plumage. Calls are a short ‘tuwee!’ or a rising “dree!” that can be quite musical when given by a flock.
Southern Black-Tit
Melaniparus niger
A large, active, noisy black tit with white shoulders, white edgings to the wing feathers, and a barred gray-and-white undertail. Pairs and small groups form the core of mixed-species feeding flocks in broadleaf woodland and thorn scrub. The species is often detected by its noisy buzzing and chirping vocalizations, including a sweet-and-scratchy “diddy-dzee-dzee-dzee-dzee-dzee.” The very similar Carp’s Tit is black under the tail; ranges only narrowly overlap.
Papuan Island-Thrush
Turdus papuensis
Dark brown thrush with bright orange bill, eyering, legs, and feet. Inhabits montane forests and forest edge, as well as more open habitats such as montane grasslands and rocky slopes. Forages actively on the ground, as well as in trees. Vocalizations varied, and include elements quite different from many other Island-Thrushes; gives high-pitched buzzy “dzeer” and “dzip” notes, as well as a long rambling series of glossy-sounding notes.
