Paradise Riflebird & photographs RFI

I am currently working on species accounts for an identification guide to Birds of Paradise and Bowerbirds, and whilst revising my account for the Paradise Riflebird I find I am missing two pieces of information, neither of which I can source in the literature: Firstly, at what height levels at the song posts of the male? I can estimate from my own observations but would like input from those with wider expertise. Secondly what is the maximum height the species occurs? I know it’s at Lamington and Barrington Tops, so does 1000 m to perhaps 1500 m sound reasonable? I also note historical records in Hanzab from the Rockhampton area, which makes me think there was an outlying relict population, now long since gone. Finally and in conjunction with the above project, I am looking for good quality photographs of birds of paradise and bowerbirds; we can offer a small payment and for those with several contributions probably a free copy of the book in due course. Please contact me direct if you can help with any of the above Thanks Phil Gregory ornithological writer/ bird guide/ tour organizer Email: oreornis@gmail.com Website 1: Http://www.sicklebillsafaris.com Website 2: Http://www.cassowary-house.com.au
