The Black-backed Streaked Honeyeater is a medium-sized honeyeater recognized by its dark, often black-streaked back and pale underparts. It is found in New Guinea's montane forests.
Where to spot
Endemic to the montane rainforests of the central cordillera of New Guinea, typically at very high altitudes (above 2,000 meters).
How to spot
Look for it moving methodically through the canopy and subcanopy of montane forests. Listen for its distinctive, often repeated calls, which can be quite resonant.
When to spot
Active year-round. Most easily seen during the day when foraging for food and nectar in the forest canopy.
