About These Birds
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.
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.
