The New Guinea Logrunner is a terrestrial and secretive bird endemic to the mountain forests of New Guinea. It is known for its unique foraging technique, scratching the leaf litter with its stiff tail feathers.
Where to spot
Found in the montane rainforests of New Guinea.
How to spot
Listen for the characteristic rustling and scratching sounds it makes as it kicks aside leaf litter. Patience is key, as they are shy. Look for their distinctive upright posture and stiff tail.
When to spot
Most active in the early morning and late afternoon, when it forages on the forest floor.
This species has specialized, spiny tail feathers that it uses as a brace to help it push aside leaf litter while foraging for insects on the forest floor.
