Malayan Black Magpie

Attractive terrestrial bird of hilly forests with dense patches of undergrowth. Stately male is resplendent, with long striped tail, white belly, and black-and-white scaling on neck. Female brown with black striping and gray skin around the eye. Female Golden Pheasant similar but grayer in coloration and has smaller pinkish eye patch. Moves about quietly when feeding in dense vegetation, usually singly or in pairs.

Tall penguin endemic to New Zealand, with distinct broad yellow eyebrow that spreads out and sags down the neck. The orange bill has no bare skin at the base. Breeds and molts in dense coastal forest, thick shrubs, and caves along the southwestern coast of the South Island and Stewart Island. Calls vary from emphatic trumpeting to a low-pitched growl or hiss. Look for white stripes on cheek which can be splayed out when threatened. Cheek stripes and lack of bare skin at base of bill help distinguish this species from Snares and Erect-crested Penguins.

A small typical ‘double-collared’ sunbird. Much smaller and shorter-billed than similar-plumaged Eastern Miombo Sunbird (and ranges hardly overlap); male Western Miombo has narrower red breast band, paler gray belly, and more prominent yellow wingpit tufts. Male Western Miombo also lacks the bluish-violet rump patch of Montane Double-collared Sunbird. Female and immature are dark gray with pale underwings. Singles and pairs are residents of Miombo woodland, gallery forest, and other woodland. Sings a series of jumbled notes ending in a long descending trill.
