Salvadori's Cicadabird is a species within the cuckooshrike family, named after the Italian ornithologist Tommaso Salvadori. This bird is typically found in the upper reaches of humid forests, where it quietly forages for insects.
Where to spot
Primarily found in New Guinea and some adjacent islands, inhabiting lowland and hill forests, often favoring primary growth. They are typically observed in the mid to upper canopy levels.
How to spot
Look for subtle movements in the forest canopy. Its relatively subdued plumage can make it blend in. Learning its soft, often buzzing or trilling calls is crucial for detection, as it can be quite inconspicuous visually.
When to spot
Active throughout the year in its tropical habitat. Observation is generally best during the early morning hours when birds are most active in foraging and calling.
