Title: | Avifauna of Remnant Bushland in South-East Queensland I: Brisbane and Hinterland | Contributor(s): | Debus, Stephen JS (author) | Publication Date: | 2007 | Handle Link: | https://hdl.handle.net/1959.11/8627 | Abstract: | "Snapshot" surveys of the bird communities in suburban or peri-urban bushland sites were conducted in Greater Brisbane, across all seasons, between 1996 and 2004, as a benchmark against which future changes might be monitored. One hundred and forty-three species were detected over the six locations (59-76 species per site), including four state-listed rare or threatened species: Grey Goshawk 'Accipiter novaehollandiae', Glossy Black-Cockatoo 'Calyptorhynchus lathami', Powerful Owl 'Ninox strenna' and Yellow-tufted Honeyeater 'Lichenostomus melanops'. Some seasonal patterns were evident: Grey Goshawk in autumn/winter; Fan-tailed Cuckoo 'Cacomantis flabelliformis' and Shining Bronze-Cuckoo 'Chrysococcyx lucidus' in both autumn/winter and spring, all other cuckoos only in spring/summer; White-throated Nightjar 'Eurostopodus mystacalis', White throated Needletail 'Hirundapus candacutus', Forest and Sacred Kingfishers 'Todirhamphus macleayii' and 'T. sanctus' and Dollarbird 'Eurystomus orientalis' in spring/summer; Noisy Pitta 'Pitta versicolor'; White-naped Honeyeater 'Melithreptus lunatus' and Rose Robin 'Petroica rosea' in autumn/winter; and Spectacled Monarch 'Monarcha trivirgatus', Leaden Flycatcher 'Myiagra rubecula', Cicadabird 'Coracina tennirostris', White-winged Triller 'Lalage sueurii', Olive-backed Oriole 'Oriolus sagittatus' and Fairy Martin 'Hirundo ariel' in spring/summer. | Publication Type: | Journal Article | Source of Publication: | The Sunbird, 37(2), p. 14-24 | Publisher: | Queensland Ornithological Society | Place of Publication: | Australia | ISSN: | 1037-258X | Fields of Research (FoR) 2008: | 060302 Biogeography and Phylogeography | Socio-Economic Objective (SEO) 2008: | 961306 Remnant Vegetation and Protected Conservation Areas in Forest and Woodlands Environments | Peer Reviewed: | Yes | HERDC Category Description: | C1 Refereed Article in a Scholarly Journal | Publisher/associated links: | http://birdsqueensland.org.au/sunbird_index.php |
