Found across New Guinea, the Bismarck Archipelago, and several smaller islands in the region. It inhabits lowland rainforests, monsoon forests, and sometimes moves into cultivated areas and mangroves.
How to spot
Look for its large size, pale grey body, and dark wings, particularly prominent in flight. Its flight is powerful and direct. Listen for its deep, booming calls, which are a characteristic sound of its habitat.
