The worldwide range of a Gray-crested Helmetshrike is a small area located in northern Tanzania and southwest Kenya. My field guide indicates their range is less than 50,000 square km, and the eBird sighting map supports that. Their Conservation Status is Near Threatened primarily due to habitat loss. I wish I had more time to get a less obscured photograph of this bird.
Edit - I noticed that I got the units wrong on its range. I wrote "50 square km", and it should be "50,000 square km". Oops! Fixed.
Edit 2- 50,000 square kilometers is about the size of Costa Rica.
