With a little bit of trailblazing, our Papua New Guinea: Islands tour group managed to find, photograph, and sound record the Mussau Triller during our recent 2024 departure. While a handful of sightings have been made in the previous decades, no scientific documentation has been produced since a specimen was collected in 1979!
