Papuan Sittella

Daphoenositta papuensis

Least Concern

The Papuan Sittella is a small bark-foraging bird that creeps along trunks and branches for insects in New Guinea. 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.
