Lesser shortwing

Passerfiformes - Muscicapidae - Brachypteryx leucophris (Murai-kenit)

A small ground-hugging bird found in areas with dense cover, usually near moving water. Unlike most shortwings, male and female are not significantly different; both sexes are brown or gray overall, with a white eyebrow and throat. Furtive and quite difficult to see; its tinkling melodic song, which starts with 1-2 slow notes and quickly accelerates into a rushed-sounding loud musical jumble, may give away its position in the undergrowth.

Rusty-naped Pitta

 Passeriformes - Picidae - Hydrornis oatesi (Burung Pacat Tepus)

Relatively dull for a pitta, but subtly attractive nonetheless. Algae green above and dirt brown below, with a soft orange nape and a thin black line behind the eye. Female is duller than the male. Like other pittas, shy and difficult to see, hopping about and foraging on the ground, typically under thick cover. This species prefers deep and densely wooded ravines and gorges, from which its repeated explosive “chom-WIT!” can occasionally be heard.

With no intent, forgo is not loss.

White-tailed Robin

 Passeriformes - Muscicapidae - Myiomela leucura (Murai Ekor Putih)

Stately ground-dwelling songbird of dense mid- to upper-elevation broadleaf and mixed forests, particularly in areas with bamboo. Male a striking rich blue with brighter patches on crown and wings, female brown overall with white throat and belly. Both sexes have large white patches on sides of tail that flash brightly in the gloom of the forest when fanned. When the white tail patch is not visible, ground-dwelling habits and horizontal posture distinguish male from the similar Large Niltava. Song is beautiful, a short series of ringing silvery whistles, usually rising. Most common call is a high thin “tzin.”

For what is shown or not shown, truth knows it's there.

Collared Kingfisher

 Coraciformes - Alcedinidae - Todiramphus chloris (Burung Pekaka Sungai)

A mid-sized kingfisher with a variable plumage pattern; nearly 50 subspecies described worldwide. All of them have a greenish-blue crown, a white spot above the lores, a black mask extending down as a narrow band across the hindneck, and a white collar. Upperparts are greenish-blue, rump brighter blue, with blue wings and tail and white underparts. Female and juvenile slightly duller. Subspecies mainly differ in plumage, with upperparts varying from blue to green to olive-toned, white loral spot sometimes extending as a supercilium, and underparts sometimes buffier. Gives various vocalizations, but most common call is a “kek-kek-kek-kek.” Frequents mangroves and tidal creeks, though sometimes inhabits other habitats, including coconut plantations in islands.

For the moment or for life, moments that matter.

Black-naped Monarch

 Passeriformes - Monarchidae - Hypothymis azurea (Kelicap Ranting)

Beautiful azure-blue male exhibits a black nape patch and a thin black gorget. Female lacks the black nape patch and gorget markings, with gray-brown wings and bright blue only on the head. Both male and female show black feathers on top of the bill and grayish-white underparts. Inhabits both dry and wet forested areas from sea level up into foothills. Like flycatchers, hawks in mid-air to catch its prey. Often joins mixed flocks. Song is a bland, unremarkable “wi-wi-wi-wi-wi-wi-wi.” Calls include harsh nasal “wheh” and an explosive “whi-cheh!”

What's routine, what's life wonder - story of perception.

Scarlet-rumped Trogon

 Trogoniformes - Trogonidae - Harpactes duvaucelii (Burung Kesumba Puteri)

Striking trogon with an extensive blue gape and a similarly-colored patch above the eye. Male has a brilliantly scarlet rump and underparts. Female has an orangish rump, a yellow breast, and a pinkish-red belly. Both sexes have a dark head (paler in females) and densely barred wings. Inhabits broadleaved evergreen forests from lowlands up into the foothills. Forages from a perch, but typically sits quite still and acts sluggish. Gives a rapidly accelerating series of squeaks.
