The Black-faced Coucal is a distinctive coucal species found in the Philippines, characterized by its prominent black facial mask contrasting with a pale crown and rufous-brown body. It builds its own nest.
Where to spot
Endemic to the Philippines, particularly on the islands of Mindanao, Basilan, Dinagat, and Siargao. It inhabits lowland forests and dense secondary growth.
How to spot
Look for the unique black mask across its face and the pale crown. It often stays hidden in dense vegetation, so listening for its characteristic deep hooting calls can help in locating it.
When to spot
Active during daylight hours, especially in the early morning and late afternoon. Can be observed year-round within its range.
