About These Birds
Azure-crested Flycatcher
The Azure-crested Flycatcher is a Near Threatened monarch flycatcher found on Fiji, weighing about 12.75g with a wingspan of 15.6cm. It inhabits forest and forest edges and is distinguished by its azure-blue crown. It forages for insects by making short aerial sallies from exposed perches.
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.
