The Sangihe Whistler is a small, elusive, and critically endangered songbird found only on the remote Sangihe Islands of Indonesia. Its dark plumage helps it blend into the dense montane forest undergrowth.
Where to spot
Endemic to the Sangihe Islands, Indonesia, primarily restricted to remaining patches of montane forest on Mount Sahendaruman.
How to spot
Look for its overall dark, dusky plumage, potentially with subtle paler markings. Listen for its whistled calls, which, though characteristic of whistlers, may be soft or infrequent.
When to spot
Year-round resident. Due to its rarity and elusive nature, any observation is noteworthy, typically in early morning or late afternoon.

This species is a prime example of island endemism, with its entire population confined to a single volcanic island, highlighting its vulnerability to habitat loss.
