About These Birds

African Shrike-flycatcher

The African Shrike-flycatcher is a boldly patterned Vangidae member with a wingspan of about 17 cm and a weight near 29 g. Males are striking black and white while females are rufous, and the species inhabits forest edges and wooded areas in Central and West Africa.

Archbold's Newtonia

Archbold's Newtonia is a small vangid from southwestern Madagascar, weighing about 8 grams with a wingspan of just 9 cm. It inhabits the spiny forest thicket of the arid southern region, foraging actively for insects in the low thorny vegetation. This tiny bird is one of several Newtonia species endemic to Madagascar's unique dry forests.
