Beccari's Scrubwren is a small, secretive bird found in the forests of New Guinea and some surrounding islands. It is a plain olive-brown scrubwren, often identified by its soft, whistled calls and its habit of foraging quietly in dense undergrowth or on the forest floor.
Where to spot
Widespread across lowland and montane forests, forest edges, and secondary growth throughout New Guinea and several satellite islands (e.g., Aru Islands, Kai Islands).
How to spot
Listen for its soft, whistled, and sometimes scratchy calls. Look for its quiet movements through dense vegetation on the forest floor or low branches. Its plain plumage makes it hard to spot, so focus on sound.
When to spot
Observable year-round. Active during the day, foraging in dense undergrowth.
