Goliath Coucal
Centropus goliath
An unmistakable massive black cuckoo with creamy-white wing patches that are visible both perched and in flight. Rare pale forms also occur that have pale heads and variable buff areas on their bodies. Juveniles similar to typical dark adults, but show chestnut on the underparts. The species is found in pairs or small groups within dense tangles in the understory of forest and in nearby thick undergrowth. Often detected by call, a series of deep, very low-pitched “boop” notes, descending toward the end. Also gives a very different, harsh, scraping “chow” call in alarm.

Slaty Antwren
Myrmotherula schisticolor
Small, warblerlike bird of humid evergreen forest in tropical foothills and locally in lowlands. Usually in pairs, foraging in tangles and leaf clusters at low to middle levels in forest understory, often with mixed-species feeding flocks; easily overlooked. Note the rather short tail. Male gray overall with blackish throat and breast patch and white wingbars. Female notably drab brownish overall, with paler throat and eyering; best identified by nearby presence of male.
Red-fronted Parrot
Poicephalus gulielmi
A chunky, mid-sized parrot with a short tail. Mostly dark green with variably sized red patches on the crown, shoulders, and thighs. The red shoulders are often conspicuous in flight. Found in both lowland and montane forest as well as adjacent secondary habitats, usually in pairs or flocks, which sometimes contain dozens of birds. Similar to Brown-necked Parrot but smaller, with a smaller bill and a green rather than gray head. The calls are thin, high-pitched screeches.
Philippine Eagle-Owl
Ketupa philippensis
A large owl of lowland and foothill forest, including secondary habitat and plantations. Warm brown with a heavily marked back, a heavily streaked rufous head and chest, and a more sparsely streaked pale belly. Note the square-shaped head with flattened ear tufts and the yellow eyes. Unmistakable. No other owls of similar size occur in its range. Gives a long, drawn-out, spooky whistled note whose pitch rises slightly, then falls at the end.
