Yellow-breasted Boatbill plumages

Hi Folks, If anyone is interested in the plumages of the Yellow-breasted Boatbill sub-species /secundus/ which occurs in the wet tropics region of Far North Queensland we have posted a few images on our weekly blog (address on signature). Recently fledged juveniles of this sub-species have not been well described and the female is not illustrated well in some field guides which has caused some confusion with visitors to the region. Hope this can help with future identification.

Regards Keith & Lindsay.
