About These Birds
Black-breasted Boatbill
The Black-breasted Boatbill is a small, distinctive flycatcher of New Guinea's montane forests, named for its wide, flattened bill and bearing a bold black breast band across yellow underparts. It inhabits the undergrowth and mid-story of primary highland forests. It feeds on insects and small invertebrates, sallying from perches and gleaning from foliage.
