Marquesan Monarch
Pomarea mendozae (Hartlaub, 1854)
Monarchidae — Monarchs
Marquesan Monarch, Pomarea mendozae, is a passerine of the Monarchidae family that breeds in the Marquesas Islands of French Polynesia. It is a bird of forested valleys across a range of altitudes, with a preference for lowland forest. The species was first placed in Monarcha. It is now confined to Mohotani, after once being more widely spread through the archipelago. Its remaining habitat has been reduced, and it faces pressure from habitat loss, grazing, fire, feral cats and the Polynesian rat.
