Can I please ask Birding-Aus members not to reply to this request
until we see some credentials? Sorry, Natalie, if this seems a
little harsh, but the mailing list was used some years ago by a
visiting researcher who wanted to trap a few bowerbirds. When
everything was explained there were serious issues with the study,
including lack of ethics committee approval from the Australian
university - and some of the birds were to be killed to examine
stomach contents, etc.
If this request came from a JCU email address we might be a little
less suspicious. It might help if you have your ethics committee
documentation ready for anyone who wants to help you in the field.
Thanks for understanding my caution in this matter.

Dear birders,
I am trying to find active bowers of the great bowerbird in or
around Lakefield National Park. This is for a study through JCU to
see if great bowerbirds prefer to build their bowers in specific
locations, with specific light environments. I only need to visit
bowers once; I will not be touching the birds or harming their
bowers in any way.
Do you know the location of any bowers in this area (including the
nearby town of Laura)? If so, could you send me a description of
the area and/or the GPS coordinates? If not, do you know the names
of any experienced birders/tour guides in the region who might be
able to assist me?
Thanks so much. I appreciate any information you can provide.
Natalie
