About the Black-browed Triller

The black-browed triller (Lalage atrovirens) is a species of bird in the family Campephagidae. It is found in northern New Guinea. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests and subtropical or tropical mangrove forests. The Biak triller (L. leucoptera) was formerly considered a subspecies. It is very vocal, and often travels in flocks with other species. Like many bird species of New Guinea, very little is known about it. Wikipedia →

Where does the Black-browed Triller sighting chance come from?

GBIF citizen-science records

It is estimated from how often the Black-browed Triller is recorded against all the birds logged in Raja Ampat (66 verified sightings from 2019 to 2026), calibrated against known sighting rates. Figures are rounded to the nearest 10% because citizen-science data supports honest approximations, not decimals, and months with records from fewer than five people show "—". How it works.
