Spotted
The Black-faced Cicadabird is a distinctive species within the cuckooshrike family, characterized by a dark face patch that contrasts with its body plumage. It's an active insectivore of the forest canopy.
Where to spot
Found in the Solomon Islands, inhabiting lowland and hill forests. It typically forages in the mid to upper canopy layers of mature and secondary growth.
How to spot
Look for the dark mask or face patch as a key identification feature. Scan the mid to upper canopy, and listen for its calls, which can be buzzy or churring, helping to pinpoint its location.
When to spot
Active throughout the year in its tropical island habitat. Best observed during early mornings or late afternoons when birds are most active.
The 'rostratum' in its scientific name refers to its beak, though its common name highlights a more prominent facial feature.
