Rhabdornises - Rhabdornithidae - English
URL: http://www.montereybay.com/creagrus/rhabdornis.html

The Rhabornises are a small group of small arboreal passerines found only in the Philippines. They have traditionally been considered a separate family allied to the Certhidae (northern creepers) and are often thus called "Philippine creepers." However, their behavior is not at all creeper-like; they act more like chickadees/tits in mixed species flocks.

The Broadbills are among the most spectacular birds on earth, and yet I can offer only a piteously poor photo of perhaps the dullest member of the family, the African Broadbill (left). This is because broadbills are exceptionally difficult to observe and harder yet to photograph. They live in the subcanopy of the Old World tropics: 11 species in southeast Asia, the Philippines, and Borneo & Sumatra, and the other 4 species in the depths of the central African rainforest.

Furnarid page - Furnariidae - English
URL: http://www.montereybay.com/creagrus/ovenbirds.html

The furnarids are a huge family of New World passerines that range through virtually every habitat in South America. A few species are found north into Central America as far as southern Mexico (none have yet reached the United States). They are often called "Ovenbirds & allies" (as on my family list page) but "ovenbirds" are just a small subset of the family that builds hard mud nests resembling Dutch ovens.
