Orange-footed Megapode
Megapodius reinwardt
Large gray-brown bird with a pointed crest on its head and massive orange legs and feet. Resident on the floors of tropical rainforests. This species builds very large nest mounds (so large they almost look like earthworks). Also found in cosmopolitan parks and gardens. Note loud crowing call.
识别特征
It is a terrestrial bird the size of a domestic chicken and dark-coloured with strong orange legs and a pointed crest at the back of the head. It utilises a range of forest and scrub habitats and has colonised many small islands throughout its range. It is prolific in suburban Darwin gardens, where people refer to it as a bush chook, bush chicken, or bush turkey.
分类信息
There are 5 subspecies. Some of the subspecies may be treated as full species, such as the Tanimbar scrubfowl (Megapodius tenimberensis), while other subspecies may be considered subspecies of other species (e.g., M. r. buruensis is sometimes considered a subspecies of the dusky megapode).

White-capped Bunting
Emberiza stewarti
Male’s elegant black-and-white facial pattern is unique. Female is plain, streaky brown all over with faint white eye-ring, a weak hint of the male’s facial pattern, and a small white spot on the “ears”. Breeds in rocky gullies, valleys, and hillsides at middle to upper elevations; winters at lower altitudes, in fields, scrubland, and open dry forest. Song is a series of twanging buzzy pulses: “TZI-TZI-TZI-TZI-TZI.”
Glossy Ibis
Plegadis falcinellus
Long, curved bill. Adults mostly dark with iridescent green and reddish tones. Very thin white border surrounding the dark facial skin. Dark eyes. Usually gregarious, it is found mainly in salty marshes and shallow wetlands. Unmistakable in most of its range, though American birds are best distinguished from White-faced Ibis by distribution and facial pattern.
Painted Honeyeater
Grantiella picta
Medium-sized, distinctive honeyeater of open woodland and shrubland in inland eastern Australia, where usually associated with mistletoe. Black above, white with a few stray streaks below, with red bill and extensive yellow patches in wing and tail. Call a loud, repeated two-note "sue-see sue-see sue-see."
