The Taiwan Scimitar-babbler is an endemic species to Taiwan, characterized by its prominent white supercilium and long, curved bill. It is a shy but vocal inhabitant of broadleaf forests.
Where to spot
Endemic to Taiwan. It primarily inhabits broadleaf evergreen forests and mixed forests in hilly and mountainous regions, from low to mid-elevations.
How to spot
Listen for its characteristic loud, whistled calls, often a repeated 'po-ho-ho'. Look for its white eyebrow and curved bill as it forages in dense undergrowth or on the forest floor, often flicking leaves aside.
When to spot
Resident year-round. Most active and vocal during the early morning and late afternoon, and especially during its breeding season.
