Spotted
The Snow Mountain Robin is a distinctive species from the highest peaks of New Guinea, characterized by its contrasting black and white plumage. It is a robust robin adapted to cold, high-altitude environments.
Where to spot
Endemic to the highest mountains of New Guinea, found in alpine and subalpine grasslands, dwarf forests, and rocky areas above 3,000 meters.
How to spot
Look in exposed, rocky areas and sparse vegetation in high-altitude regions. Its bold black and white pattern makes it relatively conspicuous against the alpine backdrop. Listen for its clear calls.
When to spot
Resident throughout the year. Most active during the day, particularly on sunny mornings.
This robin is one of the few bird species found above the tree line in New Guinea, thriving in harsh alpine environments where snow can persist year-round.
