White-eared Monarch

[Phil & Sue Gregory <>]

An interesting sighting yesterday here at Cassowary House, Kuranda (Q)  
was of an adult White-eared Monarch feeding on the ground in a shady  
flowerbed right by our front door. I had of course just been telling  
the visiting American group that this species is usually pretty  
arboreal and often seen sub-canopy or right up in the canopy, foraging  
along the outer extremities of large trees. I don't recall ever seeing  
one on the deck before, though they do sometimes come lower with  
feeding flocks. This one spent a couple of minutes poking about on the  
leaf mulch and landing on Calatheas there.
