The Green-backed Gerygone (Gerygone chloronota) is a small, active songbird native to northern Australia and New Guinea. It is most often encountered in tropical forests and mangroves, where it moves quietly through dense foliage, searching for insects. Its rapid, high-pitched calls are a familiar sound in these habitats.
