Spotted
The Rufous Shrikethrush is a striking bird with rich rufous plumage, found across New Guinea and some surrounding islands. It is a denizen of lowland rainforests, where its calls often echo through the canopy.
Where to spot
Widespread in lowland rainforests and monsoon forests across New Guinea, including the Aru Islands and other nearby islands.
How to spot
Look for its uniform rufous-brown plumage, especially the underparts and tail. Its rich, clear, and often ascending whistling song is a key identifier and frequently heard in its habitat.
When to spot
Year-round resident. Most active during the day, particularly at dawn and dusk, when it forages and calls.
Its vibrant rufous coloration provides excellent camouflage amidst the brown and reddish tones of the forest floor and tree bark in its habitat.
