G'day All.

"The Rufous-throated Honeyeaters had disappeared from here
and the nearby Cloncurry River. Perhaps they're out on the Gulf Plains feeding
on nectar in the native bauhinia woodlands, where I've seen them in winter
previously. Any comment, Bob Forsyth?"
Am only seeing the very odd Rufous-throated H/e at the
moment. They tend to arrive during the wet season at the end of the year with
heaps of juv's that have yet to acquire the throat patch and at a quick glance
can be misidentified for the Brown H/e.
