Australia has about 800 species of bird, ranging from the tiny 8 cm Weebill to the huge, flightless Emu. In most gardens around Australia you will find an abundance of birds visiting flowers, singing in trees and sometime building nests. Many people are keen bird watchers and photographers. Come along and join this project to display the wonderful world of Birds.

    Regarding my last post, it's not easy to fix these things on Bowerbird. I got through ?5 Wood Duck sightings and gave up. But I will be there on the other side.

    Hi Anna, I'm glad you've decided to join the move to iNaturalist and I hope the responses here get you over the hurdle of joining. I've been watching the transfer closely and monitoring potential problems such as taxonomic issues (on Bowerbird, species lists couldn't be updated and some were missing). So far, the iNaturalist community has been very helpful with our transferred Bowerbird records. Folks we don’t yet know are updating the species that we couldn't. Your problem was ducks – most of the Anatidae were missing – yes a big problem! I know you know the southern ducks and so do I. So, in preparation, I’m going ID all your Wood Ducks, Teal etc. back to family level on Bowerbird. And I’ll join you on the other side to get them up to species level (although I suspect there a hoard of birders who will jump in first). Okay?
