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-bibbed Monarch
The Black-bibbed Monarch is a small flycatcher-like bird found in the forests of Sula and Banggai Islands in Indonesia, with males displaying glossy black upperparts and a black breast band across white underparts. It inhabits primary and mature secondary tropical forests. It feeds on insects, sallying from perches in the forest mid-story to catch prey in the air or on foliage.
