Northern Shrike-tit

Falcunculus whitei

Least Concern

The Northern Shrike-tit is a stout-billed canopy bird that tears bark and foliage to uncover insects in northern Australia. 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.
