The Guam Monarch is a critically endangered monarch flycatcher endemic to Guam. Its population has been decimated by the introduced Brown Tree Snake.
Where to spot
Critically endangered. Historically endemic to Guam. Now limited to predator-free islets or captive breeding programs.
How to spot
Observation in the wild is extremely difficult to impossible on Guam itself. May be seen in specific conservation breeding facilities or on very few snake-free offshore islets.
When to spot
Year-round, but highly improbable in the wild. Any observation reflects intense conservation efforts.
