The Sulawesi Whistler is a distinctive and rather large whistler found in the montane forests of Sulawesi, Indonesia. It is known for its powerful and melodious vocalizations.
Where to spot
Endemic to the montane forests of Sulawesi, Indonesia, typically found at mid to high elevations.
How to spot
Look for its olive-brown upperparts, pale throat, and often a rufous wash on the underparts. Identify it primarily by its loud, clear, and melodious whistling song, which is a characteristic sound of its habitat.
When to spot
Year-round resident. Most vocal during the early mornings and late afternoons when it is actively foraging and defending its territory.
This whistler's rich and resonant calls can carry long distances through the dense mountain forests, serving as a primary means of detection for birdwatchers.
