The Old World Babblers are a family of passerine birds diverse in size and coloration, characterised by soft fluffy plumage. These are birds of tropical areas, with the greatest variety in Southeast Asia and the Indian subcontinent. This group is among those Old World bird families with the highest number of species still being discovered. Featured here is the White-browed Scimitar Babbler from Doi Luang in Chiang Mai.

It is a medium-sized babbler with a slightly decurved yellow bill. It usually forages low in the undergrowth, at middle levels, or on the ground, often in mixed flocks with other babblers and laughingthrushes. Found from the upper lowlands up into mountainous regions, where it inhabits forests with dense undergrowth, as well as shrubby edges and grassy areas. Repertoire is vast and includes whoops, rattles, and hooting. As with other scimitar-babblers, pairs duet with one another.

Nonbreeding adults lack the gray but retain the white brow and throat.

Usually found in open, scrubby habitats, including overgrown fields and forest edges.

The Silver-eared is an attractive medium-sized laughingthrush with a gray body, golden-yellow wings, dark face, and chestnut crown. Note the dark orangish “bib”, the color of which varies by range; northern birds have the brightest patches. The namesake silver ear patches are rather rounded & blend smoothly into the gray of the neck. Usually seen scratching around noisily in dense undergrowth, often singly, or in pairs or small flocks. They are found in montane and hill forests, as well as forest edges with dense low growth.
