Black-crowned Babbler
The Black-crowned Babbler is a distinctive babbler endemic to the Philippines, found in the forests of several Visayan islands, with a bold black cap and breast band contrasting with white underparts and chestnut brown upperparts. It inhabits primary and mature secondary lowland and montane forests. It feeds on insects and small invertebrates, foraging actively in the understory.
Biak White-eye
The Biak White-eye is a near-threatened small passerine endemic to Biak Island in West Papua, Indonesia. It has olive-green plumage with the characteristic white eye-ring of white-eyes. It forages in forest canopy and edges for insects, nectar, and small fruits, and is restricted to its small island range.
