The Tahiti Monarch is a critically endangered and extremely rare monarch endemic to Tahiti in French Polynesia. It is a small, dark bird facing severe conservation challenges.
Where to spot
Critically endangered and endemic to a very restricted area in the Papenoo Valley on Tahiti, French Polynesia, specifically in dense native forests.
How to spot
Focus on dense, undisturbed native forest undergrowth. Its distinctive call is often the first indication of its presence, as it can be very elusive. Patience and minimal disturbance are crucial.
When to spot
Year-round, but sightings are extremely rare. Observing requires dedicated effort and local expert guidance due to its critically endangered status and limited range.
