May 13, 2022 - Black-tailed Whistler or Mangrove Golden Whistler (Pachycephala melanura)

Found in northern Australia and Papua New Guinea, these whistlers live in mangroves and nearby forests and scrub. Foraging in vegetation and only rarely on the ground, they eat invertebrates, including insects, spiders, and small crabs. They build thin cup-shaped nests from grass, rootlets, twigs, and spiderwebs where females lay two or three eggs. Both parents feed the chicks.
