About These Birds
Biak Flycatcher
The Biak Flycatcher is a near-threatened monarch flycatcher endemic to Biak and Numfoor islands in western New Guinea. Males have glossy blue-black upperparts and white underparts, while females are duller. It inhabits forest and forest edges, catching insects in aerial sallies, and is threatened by its very restricted island range.
Black-chinned Monarch
The Black-chinned Monarch is a Critically Endangered small flycatcher known only from a tiny area on Boano Island in the Maluku province of Indonesia. Its very restricted range—a single small island—and potential habitat loss make it one of the world's most threatened monarchs. It inhabits forest interior and edges, feeding on insects. Very little is known about its ecology due to limited study.
