Papuan Treecreeper

Cormobates placens

The Papuan treecreeper, known scientifically as Cormobates placens, is a captivating species of bird that belongs to the Climacteridae family. This avian wonder was once considered a mere subspecies of the white-throated treecreeper but has since been recognized as a distinct species in its own right.

Identification Tips

When observing the Papuan treecreeper, one should note its adept climbing abilities, a characteristic it shares with its relatives. Its plumage and physical features, however, set it apart as a unique species within the highlands where it resides.

Habitat

The highlands of New Guinea offer a lush and verdant home to the Papuan treecreeper. Here, amidst the dense foliage, it thrives and displays its remarkable climbing prowess.

Distribution

This species is endemic to the highlands of New Guinea, where it can be found scaling the trunks of trees in search of sustenance.

Behaviour

The Papuan treecreeper exhibits a behavior typical of its family, with a particular proclivity for ascending the trunks of trees. This activity is not just for show, as it plays a crucial role in the bird's search for food.

Conservation status

The IUCN Red List has classified the Papuan treecreeper as Least Concern, indicating that, for now, this species does not face immediate threats to its survival. However, one must remain vigilant, as the status of wildlife can change with the shifting tides of the natural world and human influence.

Love this app. It is easy to use and accurate, Their backup communication is really good. I noted a missing species. All through the process, I was kept informed about the progress in correcting the information. I now have the corrected, updated version. 😁 Thanks!

Clean and easy to use
Really enjoying this app, it's clean and easy to use. I love the ease of being able to add those one-off birds without starting a whole checklist. I also like the social aspect, like the parts of my Facebook I like, without the ads and junk, just birds. Can't wait to see it become more populated.
