  • Darwin and Northern Territory (06/22/2019 – 07/06/2019) – Birding Report
    Darwin and Northern Territory (06/22/2019 – 07/06/2019) – Birding Report Participants: Corey Callaghan and Diane Callaghan Email: [email protected] Overview: At an Australasian Ornithological Conference in Geelong, November 2017, they announced that the next conference would be in Darwin in 2019. I immediately booked it in the calendar that that is when I would do the typical Darwin birding trip. Diane was on board, and so we decided to do a solid birding trip before the conference in early July. There are some tricky ‘must-get’ birds here, and overall we did pretty well. We ended with 198 species for the trip, and got pretty much all the critical top end birds. Didn’t get any of the mangrove specialties (e.g., whistlers, and fantail), but I was still pleased with how we did. Highlights included all the finches that we saw, and the great spread of waterbirds. Chestnut Rail was also a highlight. When I went to the conference, I dropped Diane off to go hiking at Litchfield National Park, but before that we did a 10 day trip, driving out to Timber Creek and then back. Read below for day- by-day highlights, some photos, and various birding locations. Any hyperlinks should take you to the associated location and/or eBird checklists, which would provide precise coordinates and sometimes more detailed location notes. *Note: I follow the eBird/clements taxonomy, which differs in bird names from IOC. Blue-faced Honeyeater Day 1 (June 22nd, 2019): Flight from Sydney to Darwin We had an early flight from Sydney and got into Darwin at about 2:00 PM.

  • A Review of the Distribution, Status and Ecology of the Star Finch Neochmia Ruficauda in Queensland
    AUSTRALIAN 278 BIRD WATCHER AUSTRALIAN BIRD WATCHER 1998, 17, 278-289 A Review of the Distribution, Status and Ecology of the Star Finch Neochmia ruficauda in Queensland by GLENN H.OLMES, P.O. Box 1246, Atherton, Queensland 4883 Summary The Star Finch Neochmia ruficauda has been recorded in 35-37 one-degree blocks in Queensland. Most records concern the Edward River, Princess Charlotte Bay and Rockharnpton districts. Viable populations are probably now restricted to Cape York Peninsula. Typical habitat comprises grasslands or grassy open woodlands, near permanent water or subject to regular inundation. Some sites support shrubby regrowth caused by the clearing of formerly unsuitable denser woodlands. Recorded food items are all seeds, of five grass species and one sedge. Precise nest records are few, but large numbers of juveniles have been observed during the last two decades at Aurukun, Pormpuraaw, Kowanyarna and Princess Charlotte Bay. Threatening processes are discussed; livestock grazing in riparian situations is considered the most deleterious. Introduction The distribution, status and ecology of the Star Finch Neochmia ruficauda in Queensland require urgent review. Endemic to northern and eastern Australia, its populations have declined in most regions. Available evidence suggests that the greatest contraction in its distribution has occurred in Queensland (e.g. Blakers et al. 1984). It is extinct in New South Wales, but its distribution there was only oflirnited extent (Holmes 1996). The Star Finch is protected stringently in Queensland because it is gazetted as Endangered under the Nature Conservation Act 1992. This categorisation takes due account of 'biological vulnerability, extent of current knowledge ... and management needs'.

BLJR(.H,Editor JI.:NNIFERFBLMLEE, Assistcint Editor The publications of the Museum of Zoology, The University of Michigan, consist primarily of two series-the Mi.scel/aneous Pziblications and the Occa.siona1 Papers. Both series were founded by Dr. Bryant Walker, Mr. Bradshaw H. Swales, and Dr. W.W. Newcomb. Occasionally thc Museum publishes contributions outside of these series; beginning in 1990 thcsc arc titled Special Publications and arc numbered. All submitted manuscripts to any of the Museum's publications receive external review. The Occasional Papers, begun in 1913, serve as a medium for original studies based principally upon the collections in the Museum. They arc issued separately. When a sufficient number of pages has been printed to make a volume, a title page, table of contents, and an index are supplied to libraries and individuals on the mailing list for the series. The Miscellaneotls Pt~hlication.~,initiated in 1916, include monographic studies, papers on field and museum techniques, and other contributions not within the scope of the Occasional Papers, and are published separately. It is not intended that they be grouped into volurnes. Each number has a title page and, when necessary, a table of contents.

  • OF the TOWNSVILLE REGION LAKE ROSS the Beautiful Lake Ross Stores Over 200,000 Megalitres of Water and Supplies up to 80% of Townsville’S Drinking Water
    BIRDS OF THE TOWNSVILLE REGION LAKE ROSS The beautiful Lake Ross stores over 200,000 megalitres of water and supplies up to 80% of Townsville’s drinking water. The Ross River Dam wall stretches 8.3km across the Ross River floodplain, providing additional flood mitigation benefit to downstream communities. The Dam’s extensive shallow margins and fringing woodlands provide habitat for over 200 species of birds. At times, the number of Australian Pelicans, Black Swans, Eurasian Coots and Hardhead ducks can run into the thousands – a magic sight to behold. The Dam is also the breeding area for the White-bellied Sea-Eagle and the Osprey. The park around the Dam and the base of the spillway are ideal habitat for bush birds. The borrow pits across the road from the dam also support a wide variety of water birds for some months after each wet season. Lake Ross and the borrow pits are located at the end of Riverway Drive, about 14km past Thuringowa Central. Birds likely to be seen include: Australasian Darter, Little Pied Cormorant, Australian Pelican, White-faced Heron, Little Egret, Eastern Great Egret, Intermediate Egret, Australian White Ibis, Royal Spoonbill, Black Kite, White-bellied Sea-Eagle, Australian Bustard, Rainbow Lorikeet, Pale-headed Rosella, Blue-winged Kookaburra, Rainbow Bee-eater, Helmeted Friarbird, Yellow Honeyeater, Brown Honeyeater, Spangled Drongo, White-bellied Cuckoo-shrike, Pied Butcherbird, Great Bowerbird, Nutmeg Mannikin, Olive-backed Sunbird.
