During our chit-chat session, my buddy suddenly spotted something flying in. He was thrilled to notice it before anyone else—such is the joy of birding: the excitement of discovering it yourself!

– 这是马来西亚低地森林中常见的一种鸟,但经常被忽略,因为雄鸟和雌鸟整体外观都较为普通,只有雄鸟有显眼的蓝色或深色额头。

Terrestrial, feeding on the forest floor singly or in pairs within the lowlands and low hills. Unmistakable within its limited range on islands of Sulawesi and Kabaena.
