September 26, 2024 - Bornean Stubtail (Urosphena whiteheadi) These stubtails are found in mountain forests on the island of Borneo. They feed on invertebrates, especially green aphids, usually foraging alone in dense undergrowth and on the ground. Little is known about their breeding behavior, though one of their nests was built in a mossy bank from reddish plant fibers.
