Why it matters
The Black-breasted Boatbill is a striking inhabitant of the montane forests of New Guinea, easily distinguished by its broad, flat bill and the distinctively notched shape of its tail. Its rounded wings are a classic adaptation for the agile, short-burst flight patterns it uses to forage for insects among the dense canopy foliage.
