    Fauna facts Get to know Western Australia’s fauna Mal leefowl What is a malleefowl? A malleefowl is a bird about the size of a large chicken that lives on the ground and rarely flies. They make nests on the ground, called malleefowl mounds, by heaping together a large mound of soil over a pile of leaves and sticks. Photo: Nye Evans Scientific Name: Leipoa ocellata What do they look and sound like? Other Common Names: gnow, nganamara, lowan, They can be very hard to spot because they native pheasant, incubator or thermometer bird camouflage so well with their natural environment. The wing feathers are grey, black Conservation Status: Vulnerable and white, the belly is creamy, and the neck Threats: vegetation clearing, feral cat and fox and head are grey. predation, fire, road mortality and competition for Malleefowl will often freeze or move quietly food and habitat with sheep, rabbits, cattle and goats. away when disturbed. The male malleefowl Distribution: Semi-arid Mallee ( Eucalyptus ) makes a deep bellowing or loud clucks, while shrublands and woodlands across southern Australia the female makes a high-pitched crowing, soft crooning or low grunting noise. Interesting facts The scientific name means ‘eyelet egg-leaver’ because they have a white ring around their eyes and they bury their eggs in the mound. Malleefowl use their beaks to check the temperature inside the mound, which is why they are also known as thermometer birds and incubator birds. Malleefowl mounds can be as big as 1 metre high and 5 metres wide. Have you seen a malleefowl? The female lays up to 35 eggs and buries them Please tell us if you have seen a malleefowl or inside the nest.

Wetland habitat has declined substantially since European settlement. Although no waterbird species have gone extinct as a result some are now listed as endangered.

    Field Guides Tour Report Australia ‐ Part One 2017 Oct 9, 2017 to Oct 29, 2017 Chris Benesh & Jesse Fagan For our tour description, itinerary, past triplists, dates, fees, and more, please VISIT OUR TOUR PAGE. Simpsons Gap, well captured in early morning light by Cliff Hensel. We started off the tour in Sydney with a visit to Centennial Park, where we were fortunate to meet up with Steve Howard, who took us to several of his favorite birding sites and got us onto a Powerful Owl which would have otherwise been impossible to find. Several of us also enjoyed feeding figs to a Common Brushtail Possum roosting in the area. We then headed over to the Sydney Botanical Garden for another Powerful Owl and a nice view of the Sydney harbour. The next morning, we headed over to Royal National Park and had a great morning walking along the Lady Carrington Drive. Lots of wonderful birds, with Superb Lyrebird being the most memorable. After a cafe lunch, we tracked down a wonderful pair of Rockwarblers. After our flight to Melbourne, we headed to the Western Treatment Plant for a tour with Paul. We had a great tour of Werribee, with some good shorebird action and a nice mix of ducks and waterbirds. From there we made our way back to St. Kilda, and an evening visit to the harbor to watch Little Penguins come ashore. The following morning we made a brief stop at the Serendip Sanctuary to see the Cape Barren Geese before heading on to Pt. Addis on the Great Ocean Road, where we had fantastic views of a Rufous Bristlebird family.
