Medium-sized songbird that produces one of eastern Australia’s most familiar rainforest calls. Olive brown above, with white throat patch contrasting strongly with black face, crest, and breast. Juvenile lacks white patch. Feeds on the ground, most commonly in dense vegetation of rainforest and other wet forests. Very vocal. Male sings “oooooo...doo-doo-doo–whipp!” and female responds “pew pew.” (eBird)

----------------

Heard frequently in rainforests of eastern Australia, we quickly learned the song. At O'Reilly's, they are very tame and would come to people for food. In fact, a few times they were too close to photograph, even with the 100-400mm lens. The main problem is that they love the deepest, darkest parts of the forest, so very noisy and dark originals. This photo has been significantly edited to bring out the bird from the gloom.

Another first find for me - the Eastern Phobe doesn't hang around Iowa to much - except during breeding season. A beautiful little bird about 6" long on average with a plump look!

Happy Fence Friday!

Who doesn't struggle identifying these types of birds.

Eastern forktail (Ischnura verticalis) is a member of the damselfly family Coenagrionidae.

The males are yellow-green with blue on the top of the eighth and ninth abdominal segments. The females may be orange, or less commonly yellow-green like the male

If a mysterious trill catches your attention in the night, bear in mind the spooky sound may come from an owl no bigger than a pint glass. Common east of the Rockies in woods, suburbs, and parks, the Eastern Screech-Owl is found wherever trees are, and they’re even willing to nest in backyard nest boxes. These supremely camouflaged birds hide out in nooks and tree crannies through the day, so train your ears and listen for them at night.

Same tree, same hole, different bird! Three weeks ago we took a picture of a red owl. This time it is apparently grey. Eastern Screech-Owls have a red morph and a grey morph. We do not know what happened here. Maybe the gray fought for the nest and won, but we hope it is a couple. We will check back if they started a family.

Eastern Spinebill

Acanthorhynchus tenuirostris

Meliphagidae

The Eastern Spinebill inhabits shrubs in open eucalypt forests, as well as shrubland, heathland and suburban gardens. They use their long, slender, decurved bills to probe deep into flowers, at all levels from the canopy down to the undergrowth, to feed on the sweet nectar.
