Black-crowned Babbler
The Black-crowned Babbler is a distinctive babbler endemic to the Philippines, found in the forests of several Visayan islands, with a bold black cap and breast band contrasting with white underparts and chestnut brown upperparts. It inhabits primary and mature secondary lowland and montane forests. It feeds on insects and small invertebrates, foraging actively in the understory.
