Oriental Cuckooshrike
Coracina javensis
- langka
- 55 km/h
- Risiko rendah
A quiet slate-gray canopy hunter that drifts undercover among the highest branches. Subtle, unhurried, easy to miss until its harsh call cuts the morning.
- Populasi
- widespread across South and Southeast Asia, locally uncommon
- Habitat
- Subtropical/tropical moist lowland and hill forest, including forest edge and secondary growth.
- Fakta menarik
- The Oriental Cuckooshrike was originally described from Java in 1821 and long called the "Javan Cuckooshrike," thought to be confined to Java and Bali, until a taxonomic revision merged in several subspecies formerly classified under the Indian Cuckooshrike and revealed its true range stretches from the Himalayas to Taiwan.
- Sebaran
- Widely distributed from the Himalayan foothills (Pakistan/India) through Myanmar, Thailand, Indochina, southern China, Hainan, and Taiwan; also the Andaman Islands, and Java and Bali in Indonesia (originally described from, and long thought restricted to, Java and Bali before taxonomic revision expanded it to include several former Indian Cuckooshrike subspecies).
- Makanan
- Primarily insectivorous, taking insects and large hairy caterpillars in the forest canopy (typical of the cuckooshrike family Campephagidae); likely supplements with fruit, as documented in the closely related Indian Cuckooshrike with which several subspecies were formerly lumped.
