White-bellied Woodpecker
Dryocopus javensis (italized)
Impressive large black woodpecker a white belly and pale eyes. Male has a bright red crest, whereas female has an all-dark one. Large size and mostly black plumage distinguishes this species from any other woodpecker in range. Gives a loud “kyick!” and a prolonged series of “keck” notes. Usually seen on or around tall dead trees both standing and fallen, either singly or in pairs.

Brown-breasted Kingfisher
(Halcyon gularis) Italized
One of the kingfishers I encountered in Tadian. Sadly, na missed ung opportunity to photograph the second one.
Endemic in the Philippines.
A fairly large kingfisher of lowland and foothill open country and forest edge. Chocolate brown on the underparts and hood, down to the upper back. Back, tail, and wings bright blue, with large black shoulder patches, small black wingtips, a white throat, and a bright red bill and legs. Somewhat similar to Stork-billed Kingfisher, but Brown-breasted has chocolate brown rather than orange underparts. Song is a rapid, descending series of a dozen or so sharp notes, trailing off in volume..

Crested Myna
Acridotheres cristatellus
Jet-black bird with flashing white wing patches and a small, bristly crest just above base of yellow bill. Across much of its range, found in farms, parks, and cities, nesting in buildings and highway signs and foraging in small flocks on median strips and in garbage dumps. The only black myna throughout most of its natural range, but now rare and local on Taiwan. Occasionally mixes with other starlings while roosting and feeding.
