Tessmann's Flycatcher was in the area and Western Bluebill was our first new bird of the day. Blue-spotted Wood Dove was seen in a small bush and Green Crombec was also found. Simple Leaflove and Red-necked Buzzards were noted and a Black-and-White Flycatcher flew past. The forest trial was fairly busy this morning as we walked, and after a while, a Spotted Flycatcher was located. Black-winged Oriole and Red-fronted Parrot were added for the day and a Red-rumped Tinkerbird was seen well. More
