The Bismarck Cicadabird is a species of cuckooshrike endemic to the Bismarck Archipelago. It is an inhabitant of various forest types, where it primarily feeds on insects gleaned from foliage.
Where to spot
Endemic to the Bismarck Archipelago (Papua New Guinea), including islands like New Britain and New Ireland. It inhabits lowland and hill forests, including forest edges and disturbed areas.
How to spot
Scan the canopy and mid-story of forests. Listen for its calls, which are characteristic of cicadabirds, often buzzing or trilling. Patience is important as they can be inconspicuous among the foliage.
When to spot
Present year-round within its island range. Best observation times are usually in the early morning when birds are most active and vocal.
The Bismarck Archipelago is renowned for its high levels of avian endemism, with many bird species found nowhere else on Earth.
