Sao Tome Grosbeak
Crithagra concolor
A large uniform chestnut finch with a robust pink-horn bill. Endemic to São Tomé and very rare; once thought to be extinct. Found singly and in pairs in primary and secondary forest in remote highlands where good habitat persists. Prefers the middle levels of the forest, but is also occasionally encountered on the ground. Loud human-like whistles, upslurred and high-pitched, “weeeooo” or “wheeet-wheeeoo,” are often the first sign of its presence. The Principe seedeater is much smaller and duller in coloration than Sao Tome Grosbeak.

Streak-capped Antwren
Terenura maculata
Tiny hyperactive antwren of the canopy in humid forest and second growth, where it often follows mixed-species flocks. Males are heavily streaked on the head and flanks with a rufous back, dark wings with pale yellowish underparts below. Females are similar, but are paler overall with a buffy throat and buffier streaking on the head. The song is a dry rattle.
Salvadori's Fig-Parrot
Cyclopsitta salvadorii
A medium-sized, chunky parrot of lowland and foothill forest. Green body and crown, yellow-green streaked cheek and a blue patch behind the eye. Male has a red patch on the chest. Tail usually held to a point. Courtship behaviour includes head-bobbing and presenting pieces of peeled off bark. Similar to Edward’s Fig-Parrot and ranges may meet. Salvadori’s lacks the red streaked face and purple breast band. Call, a very shrill high-pitch note, sometimes followed by a high-pitch rough note “tsiik!-krrrk!”.
Mentawai Scops-Owl
Otus mentawi
This small, dark cinnamon-brown owl is the only resident scops-owl in its limited range. Inhabits a wide range of wooded habitats, from pristine lowland rainforest to plantations and woodlots around human habitation. Gives a barking hoot with an abrupt ending, often in pairs or well-spaced series. Also gives quiet, low rattling croaks. Combination of dark eyes and uniformly dark brown plumage distinguish this species from any migrant or vagrant scops-owls on the Mentawai Islands.
