Biak Gerygone

Gerygone hypoxantha

Near Threatened

The Biak Gerygone is a small canopy and edge insectivore that gleans leaves and twigs with quick, delicate movements in Biak and nearby islands. It is usually resident, using dense cover or forest structure year-round and moving locally as food availability changes. Fun fact: many of these Australo-Papuan passerines are easier to detect by voice than by sight.
