About These Birds
Black-fronted Bushshrike
The Black-fronted Bushshrike is a colorful bushshrike with bright green upperparts, a yellow and red underside, and a distinctive black forehead and face. It inhabits dense thickets, undergrowth, and forest edges in the miombo woodlands of east-central Africa, ranging from Kenya to Zimbabwe. It feeds on insects and small invertebrates, hunting from within dense cover and rarely venturing into the open.
