Where to find birds in WA

[Frank O'Connor <>]

Margaret

Look up the birding-aus archive for the article I sent last year on the
key birds of the south west.  Also check my web site for areas such
as Cue and Exmouth.  For the other species :


> Southern
> Scrub-robin

Fitzgerald River bridge on Highway 1 about 35km east of
Jerramungup.  Also along Quiss Road leading into the Fitzgerald
River bridge.

> Western
> Whipbird

See article above.  But Quiss Road is now a good area.  Stop at
the fee paying station for the Fitzgerald River NP and listen for them
calling.  I recently saw two and heard three others.

> Nullarbor
> Quailthrush

See Thomas & Thomas book for Nullarbor Roadhouse in SA.

> Rufous-crowned
> Emu-wren

Fairly common in Millstream NP in the Pilbara.  Probably fairly
common in much of the Pilbara.

> Thick-billed
> Grasswren

Very easy at Monkey Mia car park.

> Striated
> Grasswren

Supposedly very near the Newman caravan park.  Used to be near Tom
Price caravan park until the area was burnt.  Basically look for
scree slopes with heavy spinifex cover.  This habitat can also have
Rufous-crowned Emu-wren and Spinifexbird.

> Redthroat

Wave Rock near Hyden.  Mulga country.  Pilbara.

> Rufous
> Fieldwren

Common at Lake Austin south of Cue.  Common near Carnarvon
wharf.  Common in samphire near New Beach south of Carnarvon.

> Dusky
> Gerygone

New Beach south of Carnarvon and north.

> Slender-billed
> Thornbill

New Beach south of Carnarvon.  Lake Annean south of
Meekatharra.  Near Nullarbor Roadhouse in SA.

> Slate-backed
> Thornbill

Cue

> Western
> Bowerbird

Cue.  Very common near Exmouth.
