Feeding Habits
Black-faced Monarch primarily consumes a variety of invertebrates, including spiders, beetles, flies, bugs, wasps, bees, and larval butterflies. It forages alone, using slow, methodical movements through mid to lower forest canopies, gleaning prey from foliage or pursuing in-flight insects.
Habitat
The black-faced Monarch inhabits a variety of forested environments, including lowland tropical and subtropical rainforests, gallery forests, eucalypt woodlands, and wet forests. It is also found in swamp-forest areas, mangroves, as well as coastal and monsoon scrubs. This species can adapt to regrowth areas and occasionally frequents suburban parks and gardens. During the non-breeding season, the black-faced Monarch may be observed at the edges of plantations, such as teak plantations, and can be found at elevations up to 800 meters in New Guinea.
