Oriolus flavocinctus

Medium-sized songbird with a long red bill and red eye. Olive-green above, with greenish breast blending into yellow belly. Juvenile and immature also yellowish on the belly, unlike Olive-backed Oriole or Australasian Figbird. Forages in forested areas, gardens, and parks in northern Australia, usually singly or in pairs, singing frequently, a rich, throaty “yok-yok-yoddle.”

分布与栖息地

They are often difficult to locate, as their yellow-green plumage blends with the foliage and only their deep bubbling musical calls can be heard. They are nevertheless common in suitable habitat: rainforests, mangroves, thickets along watercourses, swamps, and lush gardens.

Resident species

行为

Breeding takes place during the wet season (October to March). A neat, deep cup is constructed from strips of bark and vines, lined with rootlets, and slung between leafy branches, usually 5-15 m up. They typically lay two eggs.<p>Green orioles forage slowly and methodically through the middle and upper strata of dense forests, taking fruit in the main. Typically alone or in pairs, they sometimes form small flocks in the nonbreeding season.

Pangani Longclaw

Pangani Longclaw

Macronyx aurantiigula

A large and relatively colorful member of the pipit family with a black necklace, a yellow-orange throat, a yellow breast, and whitish sides with long streaks. The white corners of the dark tail are conspicuous during its weak, fluttering flight. Found in grassland with some bushes and trees. Similar to Yellow-throated Longclaw, though there is only minor overlap in range; orange-throated birds are easily identified, but some individuals have a yellow throat, and these can be separated by their paler and much more heavily streaked flanks. Brownish immatures can be confused with pipits, but are larger and more robust. Not very vocal, but gives a high-pitched whistle and a simple song of doubled phrases.

Picumnus nebulosus

Tiny woodpecker with a warm buffy-brown back and collar, and buffy belly with dark streaks. Males have a red forehead. Occurs in lowland humid forest and Araucaria forests with dense understory, including bamboo forests. There it forages at middle levels, singly or with mixed-species flocks.

Leucocarbo melanogenis

An attractive Southern Ocean crested and pied cormorant with white wingbars, pinkish feet, orange-buff warty caruncles on the forehead, and a blue eye-ring. Juvenile is duller, lacking facial ornaments. Restricted to a handful of subantarctic islands, where it forages in inshore waters; uncommon resident on Prince Edward, Marion and Crozet islands, where it is the only cormorant. Call is a grunting wheeze.
