 Hi All 
  
Saw my first Buff-breasted Paradise-Kingfisher for the season
today (20th October) on the Paluma Range Road and yesterday we got excellent
views of a Square-tailed Kite over Birthday Creek Falls (Paluma). 
The Golden and Tooth-billed Bowerbirds have been calling
and  displaying well over the last few weeks.

To a man ornithologists are tall, slender, and
bearded, so that they can stand motionless for hours, imitating kindly
 trees, as they watch for birds.
