Spotted
The Sooty Melidectes is a large, dark honeyeater found in the montane forests of New Guinea, characterized by its overall dusky plumage and subtle facial markings.
Where to spot
Montane rainforests, especially at higher elevations, in New Guinea.
How to spot
Scan the mid to upper canopy of montane forests. Its dark plumage can make it blend into the shadows, so look for movement and listen for its calls.
When to spot
Active during daylight hours. Often more visible at fruiting or flowering trees.
It has a relatively stout bill, well-suited for its diet of fruit and insects, in addition to nectar.
