Yellow-bellied Wattle-eye

Chunky rainforest bird with emerald green upperparts, thick pale beak, and a large black "ear" spot below the dark red eye. Underparts are pale green-olive with extensive pale spotting. Inhabits New Guinea, and northern Cape York (Queensland). Almost identical in appearance to the Spotted Catbird, which is fractionally larger, so in Australia this species is best identified by range (Spotted Catbird found only further south in the Cairns region). Forages mostly in middle and upper story of rainforest. Catbirds are well known for their characteristic and distinctive cat-like yowling calls.

Large, spectacular, and solidly built hummingbird of humid evergreen and pine-evergreen forest in mountains; uncommon. Feeds at all levels on flowers and sometimes perches on prominent high twigs. Most striking feature is the bright rusty wings, which typically flash brightly as it hovers at flowers; also note the big white spot behind the eye. Male often looks blackish below; the pink throat rarely catches the light. Female is dusky grayish below.

Elegant, long-tailed endemic songbird with a unique tufted white cheek. Gray overall, with darker wings and pale orange belly. White in wing and tail tips most apparent in flight. Typically inhabits montane forests but descends into foothills and lowlands at times. Often seen congregating in large numbers at flowering or fruiting trees; usually in smaller flocks otherwise. Song comprised of a series of quick whistled bursts followed by a longer, more drawn-out note.
