excellent views of a pair. We failed yesterday in cold and wet

Thu 16 Sep Rufous-crowned Emu-wren Santa Teresa Rd site (32km from
the airport)
The Santa Teresa road is a complete mud bath at present. We found a pair
feeding 3 or 4 juvs in the late evening. The juvs were so tame they
walked within inches of us. They climbed up the spinifex and fluttered
to the next bush! The couldn't have been out of the nest for more than a
day or 2.
