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.
