Spotted
The Mountain Mouse-warbler is a small, shy bird endemic to the montane forests of New Guinea. It has a dull, mouse-like plumage that allows it to blend seamlessly into the dense undergrowth and leaf litter where it forages. Its movements are quick and often resemble those of a mouse.
Where to spot
Endemic to the montane forests of the central highlands of New Guinea, typically found at elevations between 1,200 to 2,800 meters.
How to spot
Requires patience and a quiet approach. Look for quick, furtive movements in dense undergrowth or on the forest floor. Listen for its soft, often squeaky calls.
When to spot
Observable year-round within its high-altitude forest habitat. Active during daylight hours.
Its common name 'mouse-warbler' aptly describes its habit of scurrying through dense ground vegetation, reminiscent of a small rodent.
