The Lowland Mouse-warbler is a small, secretive bird found in the lowland forests of New Guinea and some adjacent islands. Similar to its montane counterpart, it exhibits a mouse-like appearance and behavior, often foraging quietly in the dense understory. Its drab plumage provides excellent camouflage.
Where to spot
Found in lowland rainforests and secondary growth across New Guinea, including some satellite islands like Yapen and Aru Islands.
How to spot
Look for its mouse-like movements and drab plumage in the dense undergrowth and on the forest floor. Patience and quiet are essential, as it can be very elusive. Listen for soft, indistinct calls.
When to spot
Observable year-round within its lowland forest habitat. Active during daylight hours.
