Spotted
The Admiralty Cicadabird is a species of cuckooshrike endemic to the small Admiralty Islands group. It is a subtly colored bird that primarily forages for insects within the forest canopy of its limited range.
Where to spot
Strictly endemic to the Admiralty Islands (part of Papua New Guinea), where it inhabits lowland rainforests and forest edges. Look for it in the mid to upper canopy.
How to spot
Due to its restricted range and preference for the canopy, observation requires patience. Listen for its soft, often buzzing calls characteristic of cicadabirds. Use binoculars to scan the forest canopy carefully for movement.
When to spot
Being a resident of a tropical island, it is active and present year-round. Observation is typically best during the cooler parts of the day, such as early morning.

Its scientific name, 'admiralitatis,' directly refers to the Admiralty Islands, highlighting its exclusive presence in this remote Pacific archipelago.
