The Miserable Monarch is a small, rather drab monarch flycatcher endemic to New Guinea. Despite its common name, it is an active and typical monarch in its behavior.
Where to spot
Endemic to New Guinea and a few nearby islands, inhabiting lowland and hill rainforests.
How to spot
Scan the mid-story and undergrowth of dense forests. Look for its somewhat nondescript, dark plumage. Observe its active foraging for insects. Listen for its distinct, often buzzing calls.
When to spot
Year-round resident. Most active in the early mornings and late afternoons.
Its common name, 'Miserable Monarch,' likely refers to its relatively plain plumage compared to more brightly colored relatives, rather than its disposition.
