Malagasy Bulbul
Hypsipetes madagascariensis
Medium-sized gray bird with a black cap and carrot-colored bill. Found in virtually all habitats with a woody component, including forest, scrub, villages, and plantations. Often in groups, and occasionally joins mixed feeding flocks with other bird species. Vocal bird that frequently gives a whining call and a long rattling song. Similar in size to Madagascar Cuckooshrike, but has an orange bill and a black cap rather than a dark hood. Gray underparts separate Malagasy Bulbul from all vangas.

Kosrae Fruit-Dove
Ptilinopus hernsheimi
Brightly-colored dove found on Kosrae Island, in the eastern Carolina Islands; the only fruit-dove on its island. Adult has a bright green back and wings, a purple crown, and pale head and breast. Forages in trees and bushes, feeding primarily on fruit. Gives a series of coos that accelerate then level off; some coos are pronounced double-notes with a hiccuping quality.
Fan-tailed Monarch
Symposiachrus axillaris
Medium-sized bird of mid-montane forest. Fairly long tail is often held cocked. All glossy black with a white tuft in front of the shoulder. Female is slightly duller. Found in pairs and sometimes associates with other species. Often catches insects on the wing. Very similar to Black Fantail, but Fan-tailed Monarch has the distinctive white tuft and a different vocalization. Also, tail is only partially fanned. Voice, scratchy, grating notes.
Grayish Mourner
Rhytipterna simplex
Large, rather monochromatic flycatcher that frequents the middle to upper levels of humid forests where it often accompanies mixed-species flocks. The plumage of males is a uniform gray with dark-red eyes, while females and juveniles have brownish wings-edges and tail. Very similar to Screaming Piha, but is smaller and has more rufous eyes. The song is a loud and fast “tr-tr-tr-chew” with emphasis on the “chew” note and is a conspicuous part of the dawn chorus.
