Update time:
eek 33: Aug 7 – Aug 13, Queensland, Australia
Working Days: 4
New species identified: 52
Total species to date: 1446
57.8 % of goal, 63.5% of year used
Sites visited: Cairns, Port Douglas, Mt. Lewis, Atherton Tablelands
Just three days in this wonderful area; not nearly enough time. We dipped on a few surprises, including harriers - none! And so much of the tablelands looked like such prime habitat, with all the rolling hills and all. Much hide and seek was played with the Fairy Martins, that were mixed in with Tree Martins - zooming swallows, martins, and swifts are always a real pain when your eyesight is bad. But I got the little buggers after only about twenty minutes more work after everyone else easily saw them. And a nice surprise was Electus Parrots - a breeding pair but likely escapees, per our guide.
