	Bronzewing pigeon
		The bronzewing pigeons are a group of pigeons native to Australia which have distinctive iridescent wing patches that appear bronze or green-brown in dull light, but flash in many bright colours in the sun as the bird moves.
		The dividing line between the bronzewings and the rock pigeons[?] is arbitrary: essentially, rock pigeons are bronzewings without bronze on their wings.
		Brush Bronzewings nest low down, often on the ground, and are very vulnerable to feral cats and foxes.

		The Brush Bronzewing seems to have few adaptations to heat and water scarcity so it may be balancing on a fine line between thriving and just surviving.
		Unlike the Crested Pigeon, the Brush Bronzewing’s main mechanism for evaporative cooling is through panting which is far less efficient and not adequate to keep it cool at extreme temperatures.

	THE BOWING DISPLAY OF PIGEONS IN REFERENCE TO PHYLOGENY
		Their distribution and plumage characters suggest that the Australian bronzewings have all been derived from a common ancestor subsequent to the arrival of the latter in Australia.
		In this connection it might be mentioned that, although the tails of Geopelia are long and very conspicuously marked, this is not true of all the bronze- wings or, indeed, of some other pigeons which also raise and spread the tail in the bowing display.

		Other interesting birds were Brush Bronzewing (common around the caravan park), Red-capped Parrot, Fan-tailed Cuckoo, Red-winged Fairy-wren, Western Spinebill, White-breasted Robin (3 in the caravan park), Golden Whistler and Grey Currawong.

	Tropical Birding Australia Tour
		Despite feeling as though we were in an area that will soon be very tacky condos, there were some good looks at some new species for the trip such as Eastern Rosella, Tawny Grassbird, Satin Flycatcher, Yellow Robin, Variegated Fairywren, and Brown Thornbill.
		On the way up to Lamington National Park, we stop for new birds including a flock of Yellow-tailed Black-Cockatoo, Brush Wattlebird, Noisy Miner, and Olive-backed Oriole.
		We arrived at Binna Burra for lunch, and I think everyone was very impressed by how beautiful the location and lodge are.
