The White-eared Monarch (*Carterornis leucotis*) is a small, active flycatcher found in the rainforests and wetter forests along Australia’s eastern coastline, primarily in Queensland and extending into far northeastern New South Wales. This species is known for its bold black-and-white plumage, lively foraging style, and flute-like calls that echo through the forest canopy.
