The Hooded Treepie is a relatively small and elegant treepie species, notable for its contrasting black head ('hood') and grey body. It is typically found in bamboo forests and secondary growth.
Where to spot
Primarily found in Southeast Asia, including parts of Thailand, Myanmar, and Indochina, favoring bamboo forests, secondary growth, and forest edges.
How to spot
Look specifically in bamboo thickets and dense undergrowth. Its smaller size and preference for dense vegetation can make it harder to spot, so listening for its calls is often helpful.
When to spot
Resident throughout the year. Best observed during early morning or late afternoon when they are most active.
