Large Woodshrike
Tephrodornis virgatus
Nondescript large-billed bird with a bandit’s mask. Very similar to Common Woodshrike, but note heavier bill and lack of white eyebrow. A species of lowland and hill forests. Forages slowly and quietly, often in upper levels of forest and frequently with mixed-species flocks. Song is a rapid monotone series of whistles, the first one or two notes sometimes lower. Also frequently gives a harsh rattling call.

Chachapoyas Antpitta
Grallaria gravesi
Rotund bird with long legs and a short tail, endemic to the eastern Andes of northern Peru. Plumage is mostly brown with an orange tinge to the underparts. Very similar to Chestnut Antpitta, but found at higher elevations and has a different voice. Vocalizations include a “pit-grrrr” with a dry, purring quality, repeated over and over, and a rising series of vibrating whistles. Inhabits understory of high elevation cloud forest, and usually stays on the ground except when singing. It was described as a new species in 2020, and was previously considered a form of what used to be called Rufous Antpitta.
Palau Scops-Owl
Otus podarginus
A reddish-brown owl with a large rounded head, pale whitish eyebrows, and no ear tufts. Upperparts spotted with black-tipped white spots. Legs unfeathered and whitish. Found in a wide range of forest, mostly in lowlands, frequently near villages. No other owls occur on Palau. Voice includes a long series of deep “whok” notes rising in intensity, finishing in a sharp “quirt-quirt” whistle.

Toxostoma redivivum
Long-tailed with long, slender bill that is sharply downcurved. Drab grayish-brown without any markings. Paler on throat; warmer orangey color on belly. Often hard to see when lurking in dense shrubs. Sings from prominent perches. Song is seemingly endless and complex. Forages primarily on the ground. Range restricted to dense brush and woodland in California and Baja California.
