Spotted
The Biak Shrikethrush is a striking songbird endemic to Biak Island off the coast of New Guinea, known for its distinct plumage and vocalizations. It prefers the island's unique forest habitats.
Where to spot
Endemic to Biak Island and possibly Supiori Island, Indonesia, inhabiting primary and secondary lowland forests.
How to spot
Identify by its contrastive plumage, often with a darker head and pale underparts, though specific markings vary. Listen for its clear, ringing calls which are typical shrikethrush melodies adapted to its island environment.
When to spot
Year-round resident. Like most forest birds, it is generally most active and vocal in the early hours of the morning and late afternoon.
Its isolated island existence has led to distinct evolutionary paths, making it a unique species found nowhere else in the world.
