识别特征
The northern scrub robin (Drymodes superciliaris) is a species of bird in the family Petroicidae. It is found in northern Cape York Peninsula in Queensland, Australia. It was found to be genetically distinct from the Papuan scrub robin, which were thought to be members of the same species. A putative subspecies D. s. colcloughi, known as the Roper River scrub robin, was described by Gregory Mathews in 1914 from specimens supposedly collected from the Northern Territory of Australia. However, there have been no further records from the area, the provenance of the specimens has been questioned, and the taxon is controversial.

Dark Pewee
Contopus lugubris
The only all-dark crested flycatcher in range. Entirely sooty-gray, only slightly paler on throat and belly. More obvious crest than other pewees. Sexes alike. Usually seen singly, perched conspicuously at the forest edge or in a clearing. Listen for “pip” call notes.
Pied Avocet
Recurvirostra avosetta
Striking and essentially unmistakable, with elegant shape, boldly pied plumage, long bluish-gray legs, and long, slender, upcurved bill. Curve is stronger on female. Usually breeds in small colonies; nesting birds call noisily. Nonbreeding flocks locally number in hundreds. Feeds while wading or swimming, sweeping its bill side to side. Most common in coastal wetlands and brackish lagoons and estuaries, but will also appear inland, particularly on or near large lakes.
Lawrence's Thrush
Turdus lawrencii
Accomplished song mimic of lowland rainforest. Dark brown thrush with yellow bill and bold yellow eye ring. Sings from a perch high in a tree, often quite difficult to see. Song is composed of imitations of songs and calls of other birds; a single individual can have more than 70 sounds in its repertoire. Found in tall forest, especially around streams.
