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.

Bates's Paradise-flycatcher

Bates's Paradise-flycatcher is a small paradise-flycatcher of the family Monarchidae found in the forest understory of West and Central Africa. Weighing about 15g with a wingspan of 14.9cm, it has rufous and white plumage. It forages in the forest interior, making aerial sallies and gleaning insects from foliage.
