About These Birds

Black-faced Monarch

The Black-faced Monarch is an elegant flycatcher with gray upperparts, a black face and throat, and warm rufous-orange underparts. It breeds in rainforests and wet sclerophyll forests of eastern Australia, migrating north to New Guinea and nearby islands during the austral winter. It forages actively through the forest midstory, catching insects and spiders by sallying from perches or gleaning foliage.

African Paradise-flycatcher

The African Paradise-flycatcher is a striking passerine of the Monarchidae family with a tiny wingspan of about 16 cm and a weight of only 14 g. Males are renowned for their ornate, elongated tail streamers used in courtship displays across African woodlands.
