Birds -- Malaysia -- Sabah
This bird was seen only in the moss forest above Tenom. It was not
taken in nets the first four days they were erected, nor did we see
individuals in the forest. Then, on December 21, three were taken
in widely separated nets, and the species was then seen nearly
every day for a week. Such sporadic and unpredictable local
occurrences may indicate wide separation of the loosely-organized
foraging groups of this species. The call is a harsh, jaylike note.

This species of the primary forest was common both at Cocoa
Research Station and 12 miles north of Kalabakan. Although not
frequently seen, it was caught in mist nets with regularity.
Specimens taken near Kalabakan on November 8 and 15, 1962, were in
heavy molt.
