The Black-capped Catbird is a relatively large and reclusive bowerbird, easily identifiable by its prominent dark cap and green plumage. It inhabits the tropical forests of New Guinea.
Where to spot
Inhabits the lowland and hill forests of southeastern New Guinea, preferring dense undergrowth and the lower to mid-canopy strata.
How to spot
Their characteristic calls are often the primary means of detection in their dense forest habitat. Remain still and listen patiently, then scan the mid-storey and lower canopy for movement.
When to spot
Can be observed throughout the year, with increased vocal activity and territorial displays during the breeding season, typically from October to February.

Like other catbirds, this species derives its name from its loud, cat-like wailing calls that echo distinctively through the forest, a primary means of communication.
