Andean Ibis

A tiny brown owl of humid forest in mountains and foothills, with brown upperparts and white underparts with long, broad rufous-brown streaks. Tooting song is variable, though the most common pattern is “doot doot-doot doot do-do-do,” repeated every 10-30 seconds. Often sings during the day, and can be mistaken for a barbet, but the exact pattern of toots is unlike any barbet. Visually, could be mistaken for a scops-owl, but separated by the distinctive voice, the broad brown streaks below, and the lack of ear tufts.

An entirely black mountain-dwelling drongo with a forked tail and a dark red eye. Typically found singly or in pairs within canopy or upper understory of montane forest, where it regularly accompanies mixed-species flocks. Told from the similar Sulawesi form of Spangled Drongo by its dark eye and less flared outer tail feathers. Sulawesi Drongo also prefers higher elevations. Simple song includes metallic, strident myna-like “chew” notes, often strung together, as well as harsher, lower-pitched “cheewk” notes.

Distinctive gull. Breeding adults have a gray hood, pale eyes, and a red bill and legs. The back is medium gray and the wings have extensively dark flight feathers. Loses the gray hood in the nonbreeding season which is replaced by a dark cheek spot, while juveniles have paler bills and variably brown mottled wings and back.
