Spotted
The Blue-masked Leafbird is a beautiful and somewhat elusive bird characterized by its brilliant green plumage and a distinctive blue mask around its eyes. It is endemic to Sumatra.
Where to spot
Endemic to the island of Sumatra in Indonesia. Inhabits primary and mature secondary evergreen forests, mainly in the lowlands and foothills.
How to spot
Search the mid to upper canopy of dense forest. Look for its bright green body and the subtle but distinct blue around its eyes. Listen for its calls, which can help in locating it.
When to spot
Year-round. Best observed during early morning or late afternoon when birds are most active in foraging.
This species is less commonly seen than other leafbirds, preferring the dense canopy of pristine forests, which makes observing it a rewarding challenge.
