The Black-faced Friarbird is a medium-to-large honeyeater native to the Moluccas. It is recognized by its prominent bare black facial skin, a small knob on its bill, and a generally grayish-brown body. This common species is vocal and conspicuous in its habitat.
Where to spot
Endemic to the northern Moluccan islands of Indonesia, including Halmahera, Morotai, and Bacan. It prefers forest, secondary growth, and cultivated areas.
How to spot
Look for its distinctive bare black face. Listen for its loud, sometimes raucous calls. It can often be seen in the canopy of trees or at the edge of clearings.
When to spot
Present and active year-round in its habitat. It is typically observed during the day as it forages.
The 'black-faced' aspect of its name is a key distinguishing feature, separating it from other friarbird species in its range.
