소개

The Black Fantail is a small, entirely jet-black fantail that enthusiastically fans its long tail while foraging. It inhabits montane rainforests of New Guinea, typically at elevations from 1,200 to 2,800 meters, where it is found in forest interior and dense undergrowth. It feeds on insects, catching them by sallying from perches or gleaning from foliage, often in mixed-species bird flocks.
