Sakhalin Leaf Warbler

Phylloscopus borealoides

Small songbird, virtually identical in plumage to Pale-legged Leaf Warbler, of which it was formerly considered a subspecies. Vertical tail pumping distinguishes this species from most others in its range except Pale-legged. Forages through the different layers of forest and like Pale-legged (and unlike most other leaf warblers) sometimes forages on the ground. Call note is a hard metallic “pit,” similar to Pale-legged, but marginally lower in frequency (visible on spectrogram); song a series of rhythmic whistles with clear distinctions between each note, very unlike the high, rapid trill of Pale-legged. Breeds in forest edges and clearings; can be found in a range of wooded habitats in migration and on wintering grounds.

识别特征

It has a long white supercilium and broad, dark brown eye-stripes. Its crown, upper parts, and bill are also dark brown. It has greenish-brown cheeks and its ear-coverts are mottled. Its bill has a pink base that extends to the lower mandible. Its legs are pale pinkish-brown. <p>It is easily confused with the pale-legged leaf warbler. One possible distinguishing feature is that its upperparts are slightly more greenish. It is more easily distinguished by its lower-pitched vocalizations, but some overlap does exist in the species' pitch ranges.

Cinnamon-faced Tyrannulet

Cinnamon-faced Tyrannulet

Phylloscartes parkeri

Small yellowish tyrannulet with a narrow reddish facial patch. Usually perches horizontally in the mid-story and canopy of humid montane forest. Olive green above and olive yellow below, with a gray crown; also has thin yellow-green wingbars. Usually travels in pairs, which may be found in mixed-species flocks. Listen for its song, a hyperactive series of high, squeaky chip notes that rises and falls quickly, and its call, a high squeaky “pseet!” that is often doubled.

Ventriloquial Oriole

Ventriloquial Oriole

Oriolus consobrinus

A streak-breasted oriole with a rather long, lipstick-pink bill. Male is yellow with a glossy black hood and dark wings. Female is olive-green above. Both sexes have dark red eyes. Limited to northern Borneo, where has at most limited overlap with the similar Dark-throated Oriole (with which it was formerly considered conspecific). Inhabits lowland and hill forests and forest edges, typically moving in the upper levels of the forest. Sometimes found singly, sometimes in pairs or mixed flocks. Song is short but fluidly melodic, often with the last note stretched out. Gives a harsh, jay-like “chew!”.

Pheasant-tailed Jacana

Pheasant-tailed Jacana

Hydrophasianus chirurgus

An eye-catching waterbird found on lakes and ponds with extensive floating vegetation. Long-tailed breeding adults are striking: the large white wing patch and head contrast sharply with its black body and bright yellow neck patch. Short-tailed wintering adults and juveniles have a brown back, white underparts, and a toned-down version of the breeder's head pattern. Vocalizations include a variety of nasal clucking and purring calls; song, seldom heard, a repeated, ringing “ku-woo.”
