About These Birds
Black-headed Gonolek
The Black-headed Gonolek is a striking bushshrike with a jet-black head, back, and wings contrasting dramatically with its vivid crimson-red underparts. It inhabits dense papyrus swamps, riverside thickets, and reed beds of east-central Africa, particularly around the Great Lakes region. It feeds on insects and small invertebrates, remaining hidden in dense vegetation and communicating with loud, melodious duets.
Albertine Sooty Boubou
The Albertine Sooty Boubou is a uniformly dark boubou of the Malaconotidae family, weighing about 41 g with a wingspan near 17 cm. It is endemic to the montane forests of the Albertine Rift in Central Africa, where it forages stealthily through dense undergrowth.
