Talaud Rail
Gymnocrex talaudensis
An unmistakable, little-known hulking forest rail with a large yellow bill, an all-rufous head and neck, forest-green upperparts, and a blackish belly. Also note the striking pale blaze behind the eye. An extremely shy terrestrial bird with a very limited range in the Talaud Islands. Inhabits forest understory and marshy areas along forest edge. Calls include deep “ump-ump-ump” series and a hurried, high-pitched “peet-peet-peet.”

Spotted Antbird
Hylophylax naevioides
Stunning antbird, small and boldly patterned. Rotund and short-tailed. Male has white belly with band of black spots across chest, gray head, and rufous back. Female more washed out, but similar pattern. Usually seen singly or in pairs in understory of forest, often following a mixed flock or army ant swarm. Stuttered song is a series of slightly wheezy whistles, descending in pitch.
Greater Melampitta
Megalampitta gigantea
A large, rare, ground bird from scattered areas of foothill and lower montane limestone forest. All black plumage with long legs, strong bill, long tail and some bare facial behind the eye. Juvenile has a brown belly. Very secretive and keeps to dense cover. The only large, black, terrestrial bird. More often heard than seen. Voice, a loud, repetitive “choo-oowit!”.
Four-colored Bushshrike
Telophorus viridis
Beautiful bird with an olive back, red throat, and black chest band. Varies geographically: has a yellow belly in the east and an olive-green one in the west. The male has a broader chest band than the female. Found in forest undergrowth, thickets, and thick woodland. Skulking bird that is most often located by voice: a perky “du-do-whit.” Range does not overlap with the similar Doherty’s Bushshrike.
