About These Birds
Biak Monarch
The Biak Monarch is a near-threatened monarch flycatcher endemic to Biak and Numfoor islands in West Papua, Indonesia. It has black and white plumage typical of monarchs, with the male showing glossy blue-black upperparts. It inhabits forest and forest edges, and its restricted island range makes it vulnerable to habitat disturbance.
