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.
Black-crowned Tchagra
The Black-crowned Tchagra is a medium-sized, boldly patterned bushshrike of sub-Saharan Africa and the arid zones of North Africa and the Arabian Peninsula, with a distinctive black crown stripe, white supercilium, and rufous wings. It inhabits dry scrub, thickets, savanna edges, and gardens. It feeds on large insects, lizards, and small rodents, foraging on the ground and in low shrubs.
