The Louisiade Whistler is a distinctive bird endemic to the Louisiade Archipelago off southeastern New Guinea. It is a secretive forest inhabitant, often heard more than seen.
Where to spot
Endemic to the Louisiade Archipelago, Papua New Guinea, including Misima, Sudest, and Rossel Islands. Inhabits lowland and hill forests.
How to spot
Look for its distinctive plumage characteristics, which will vary by island but generally involve olive-green or brownish upperparts and paler underparts. Listen for its clear, ringing whistled calls.
When to spot
Year-round resident. Like most whistlers, it is most active and vocal during the early mornings and late afternoons.
Its presence on these remote islands highlights the unique biodiversity found in isolated island ecosystems, with species evolving specific traits.
