Day 15 Australia: Port Douglas

We've seen 171 species so far this trip (only 26 of which I've seen in other countries).

My life list is up to 1,436.  

Bridled Terns

Varied Honeyeater 

Helmeted Guinea Fowl - they are native to Africa
so these are considered escapees. This means it
doesn’t count toward my life list.  I find the bone
on the head interesting since it is similar to
a cassowary’s.

Figeater Beetle - this species only lives in upper 
North Queensland.  It’s about the size of my
thumb from knuckle to tip.
