Spotted
The Obi Cicadabird is a species of cuckooshrike restricted to Obi Island in Indonesia. Its subtle coloration allows it to move discreetly through the forest canopy as it forages for insects.
Where to spot
Endemic to Obi Island in the North Maluku region of Indonesia. It is found in lowland forests, including primary and secondary growth, typically in the upper and middle canopy.
How to spot
Patience is essential when looking for this canopy-dwelling bird. Listen for any characteristic calls, and scan the foliage intently with binoculars, looking for movement or subtle plumage details.
When to spot
Active year-round within its tropical island habitat. Best chances for observation are during the cooler parts of the day, especially early morning.
Island endemics often develop unique adaptations to their isolated environments, making them particularly interesting subjects for evolutionary studies.
