Tawitawi Brown-Dove
Phapitreron cinereiceps
A medium-sized dove of lowland secondary forest on Tawi-Tawi Island, where it is the only brown-dove. Dark brown above with a gray head, purplish iridescence on the back of the neck, rufous-brown underparts from the throat to the belly, white under the base of the tail, and a pale gray tail tip. Does not resemble any other similarly sized doves in its range. Sings an accelerating series on the same pitch, ending in a trill, “dup-dup-dup-du-du-d-d-drrrrr,” reminiscent of a ping-pong ball falling on a table.

分布与栖息地
Its natural habitats are tropical moist lowland secondary forests and forest edge with it being less common in primary forest. It being more common in these areas shows that it is tolerant of degraded forests .<p>The IUCN Red List classifies this bird as an endangered species with population estimates of 250 to 999 mature individuals This species' main threat is habitat loss with wholesale clearance of forest habitats as a result of legal and illegal logging, mining and conversion into farmlands through Slash-and-burn and urbanization. Hunting and trapping also occurs despite laws against these practices.<p>There are no protected areas in the archipelago. A project proposal exists to provide conservation funding for the Tawitawi/Sulu Coastal Area.<p>There are no species specific conservation programs going on at the moment.

Crimson-naped Woodpecker
Dryobates cathpharius
Fairly small, stout black-and-white woodpecker with buffy underparts. Male is brightly marked with the namesake crimson nape, and a dull orange vent. Also has a bright red, but inconspicuous patch on the chest. Females are duller, but sometimes have a paler orange neck and breast patch. Similar in coloration to Darjeeling and Great Spotted Woodpeckers, but Crimson-breasted is noticeably smaller and stouter. Inhabits mid- to high-altitude broadleaf forests. Gives a loud “chik!”, as well as a descending rattle.
Aldabra White-eye
Zosterops aldabrensis
A small, sharp-billed warbler-like bird. Note the yellow patches on the throat and undertail and the white spectacles around the eye. Common in woodland, coastal scrub, and mangroves on the islands of Aldabra and Astove. Usually found in hyperactive pairs or flocks. In its small range, easily identified by the white spectacles. The most common calls are a high-pitched, rising rattle and a descending “chew” note, which is also the main component of the quiet, chatty song.
Philippine Falconet
Microhierax erythrogenys
A small raptor of foothill forest that favors exposed branches on emergent trees, often near rivers. Black above with a bluish sheen and a black base to the undertail that extends to the thighs and sides. The rest of the underparts are white, extending to the white cheeks. Unmistakable, as there are no other raptors of this size or birds with this color scheme. Voice is a descending, mouse-like squeak, “wiiuuu!”
