Flame Bowerbird
Sericulus ardens
A very brightly-colored bowerbird of lowland and foothill forests in southern New Guinea. Male unmistakeable. Bright yellow body with black wing edge and tail. Scarlet from the head down to the shoulders and back, resembling a headscarf. Sometimes a yellow line up the center of the chest up to the bill. Female, brown above with yellow underparts and also a distinctive yellow line down the throat. Makes an avenue bower in clearings. Calls, a downward squeal “kwiiiiiiuuu!” and some harsh rasping.
Gray-throated Barbet
Gymnobucco bonapartei
Dark, chunky barbet with an odd tuft of feathers on its forehead. The eye is pale in the eastern part of the range and dark in the west. Usually in small groups on and around dead trees in humid forest and secondary growth. The vocalizations include nasal “squeaky toy” calls, “peet” notes, and a dry rattle. Similar to Naked-faced and Bristle-nosed Barbets, but has a mostly feathered head and a dark bill. Sladen’s Barbet also has a dark bill, but Gray-throated is separated from that species by its feathered head.
Sangihe Scops-Owl
Otus collari
A small, cryptically patterned brown owl confined to the island of Sangihe. Largely brown with scattered black streaks and patches and some indistinct pale markings on the wings. Occurs in forest, plantations, and patches of trees from the lowlands into the foothills. Unmistakable: the only small owl on the island, and the only one there with ear tufts. Gives a strident, high-pitched single “peuw” song note.
