July 24, 2025 - Fan-tailed Gerygone (Gerygone flavolateralis) These gerygones live in forests, scrub, and gardens in Vanuatu and New Caledonia. Foraging alone, in pairs, or in small family groups and joining mixed-species flocks, they feed on insects and their larvae and pupae, picking their prey from leaves, twigs, and branches and capturing it in flight. Breeding from September through February, depending on the area of their range, they build domed nests with hooded side entrances from plant fibers, rootlets, bark, moss, spiderwebs, feathers, and soft plants. Females lay clutches of two or three eggs.
