Scale-feathered Malkoha
Dasylophus cumingi
A spectacular large, long-tailed bird of lowland and montane forest. Blackish, with glossy wings, a white-tipped tail, rufous underparts and back, a yellow bill, red skin in front of and behind the eye, and a white hood with a line of scaled feathers down from the bill and up over the crown. Forages at all levels for insects and other prey, particularly in vine tangles. Sometimes joins mixed-species flocks. Similar in size and shape to Red-crested Malkoha, but Scale-feathered has an obvious white hood. Call is a chilling, high-pitched shriek.

Bat Hawk
Macheiramphus alcinus
An acrobatic, swift-like raptor with angular wings and a massive gape; capable of snatching prey from the air and devouring it in a flash while still on the wing. Dark with varying amounts of white on the underside; African birds have patchy white throughout the underparts, while white is restricted to the throat and lower belly on New Guinean birds and solely to the throat in Southeast Asian birds. Inactive during the day; hunts at dawn and dusk, and occasionally into the night if light is sufficient. Generally uncommon and localized, most reliably encountered near large bat roosts in forested areas, but can also be seen over open forest, fields, and fringes of habitation.
Blaze-winged Parakeet
Pyrrhura devillei
Small parakeet with a long, pointed greenish-yellow tail. Has a brown crown, a scaled breast, and a variable-sized maroon belly patch. In flight, note the red and yellow bands on the underwing. Highly gregarious. Typically found in riparian woodlands.
White-throated Kingfisher
Halcyon smyrnensis
Large-headed, predominantly brown kingfisher with electric-blue back and wings, heavy red bill, and snow-white patch from the throat through the breast. Common both near and away from water; frequently seen perched on fence posts and telephone lines near wetlands, lakes, agricultural fields, and clearings. Gives jarring, raptor-like descending trills and cackles, often in flight.
