About the event
We have a new long term monitoring project to count the number of Tooth-billed Bowerbirds calling along 1 km transects in Wet Tropics. The bowerbirds will be calling October–December so any day early morning is a good time to have a walk. Or we have some group walks arranged. The idea is to see if there is any variation in bird numbers into the future caused by climate change. You can walk any of the 20 transects (Cooktown to Paluma) outlined on the Birdlife Northern Queensland Conservation website page (Bowerbird button in the Projects section). There is more detailed information and a form to fill out. You can fill out as much or as little of the form as you like. The main thing we need to know is how many you can hear calling along the 1 km transect.
