Brown-cheeked Bulbul
Alophoixus bres
A large bulbul with a brown crest, a white throat, a greenish-brown back, and a dirty yellow breast and belly. The short crest is often inconspicuous. Found on Java and Bali in forest at low and middle elevations. Song is long and variable, mixing rough “krawk” notes with more musical “chu-kit” phrases. Distinctive within its limited range: separated from other bulbuls by the short crest and yellow underparts.

Golden White-eye
Cleptornis marchei
A beautiful, unique, entirely yellowish white-eye. Bright golden yellow on the head with a paler eye-ring, yellowish-green wings, and a darker orange-yellow coloring below. Bill and legs pale yellow-orange. Found in understory of wooded and semi-open habitats. Song is a rambling warble that sounds like “can you see me? I can see you.” Call is a raspy “tchup.”
Deep-blue Flowerpiercer
Diglossa glauca
A small tanager with navy blue plumage, a brilliant golden eye, and a hooked bill. It ranges in cloud forest along the east slope of the Andes and at lower elevations than other flowerpiercers (none of which have a golden eye). It is less dependent on nectar than other flowerpiercers, consuming mostly insects and berries. Frequently joins mixed-species flocks.
Thick-billed Parrot
Rhynchopsitta pachyrhyncha
Very local, long-tailed, and social parrot of mountains in northwest Mexico. Feeds in pine and pine-oak forests. Nests colonially in groves of giant aspens, whose soft trunks allow nest cavities to be excavated. Usually found in flocks, of 10–100 birds, less often in scattered pairs; often located by its far-carrying, raucous laughing calls. No similar species in its range; note the red forehead and small red shoulder patches. In flight shows a broad yellow stripe under the wings.
