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.
