Wild Bird Wednesday & Nature Notes - Arid Land Birds


These photos are from our last trip to the inland desert country

Click to enlarge to get a better view.

Spiny-cheeked Honeyeater and young


White-plumed Honeyeater, Lichenostomus penicillarus


Inland Thornbill, Acanthiza pusilla
this is the teeniest weeniest tiniest little bird, seen 
mainly in family groups of 10 to 12 and constantly chattering


this is as much as I could crop it


I have narrowed this one down to the Southern Whiteface,
Aphelacephala, leucopsis

again, it is  a very small bird and if I have identified correctly,
a lifer for me.


another view.
These were taken well before the sun was up so clarity
is not the best.


Lastly, the terrain they make their home in.

This is one of the last shots my husband took before he no 
longer could remember how a camera works.


As you may have noticed, I just love the desert country!
