	Fantail - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Fantails are small, insectivorous birds of Australasia belonging to the genus Rhipidura.
		Four of the five species are about 15 to 18 cm long, specialist aerial feeders, and known as "fantails"; the fifth, the Willie Wagtail, is a little larger and though still an expert hunter of insects on the wing, concentrates as much on terrestrial prey.
		Note that the true wagtails are part of the genus Motacilla and family Motacillidae and are not particularly close relatives of the fantails.

	Grey Fantail - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Grey Fantail is plain in colour: mid to dark grey or grey-brown above, lighter (often yellowish) below, with a white throat, white markings over the eye, and (depending on the race) either white-edged or entirely white outer tail feathers.
		It grows to some 16 centimentres in length, of which half is the tail, which, as the name implies, is often fanned out during display.
		Colour, however, is not the Grey Fantail's hallmark: it is movement, for during waking hours the bird is almost never still.

		The White-throated Fantail is insectivorous, and often fans its tail as it moves through the undergrowth.
		The White-browed Fantail is insectivorous, and often fans its tail as it moves through the undergrowth.

	Dan Mennill - Bird Songs of the Atherton Tablelands - Grey Fantail
		Grey fantails are probably less widely known than their close relatives, willie wagtails, Rhipidura lecophrys, who live in parks and suburbs throughout Australia.
		Grey fantails routinely open and flash their fanned tail as they sally and dive trough the air to catch insects.
		Grey fantails are habitat generalists, and are found in a wide variety of forested habitats from thickets to rainforest.

		Nonetheless, the isolated rainforest pocket in the middle of the island was fairly impressive as were the miles of white sand surrounding the island and the shore of its freshwater lake, Lake McKenzie.
		Noise and disturbance meant that birding was relatively fruitless although a Grey Butcherbird near the ferry at Tewantin was the only individual of this species seen throughout the trip.
		Once at the top, the car was parked on an area of short grass on the right, about 10.5 km from the tavern, and I followed a walking track on the left into the open rainforest.

		It is not as acrobatic when feeding as the Grey Fantail although they share many of the same quick, jerky movements.
		Neither is the Rufous Fantail as widely distributed in Australia where it is confined to the east and north coasts.

	CPBR Summer Scholarship 2004-05 - Phylogeography and Evolution of the Grey Fantail Complex in Australia
		Phylogeographic studies can provide insight into continent-wide patterns of gene flow and the effectiveness of geographical barriers, aid assessment of the conservation and taxonomic status of isolated populations, and provide a temporal and genetic context to patterns of morphological and behavioural differentiation.
		This project consists of investigation of the phylogeography of Australian representatives of the Grey Fantail species complex, assessment of the status of geographically isolated populations within the group, comparison of genetic with morphological and behavioral variation, and comparison of patterns of speciation in these birds with those of similarly distributed taxa.
		Until recently, all six forms were typically treated as subspecies of the Grey Fantail.

		Locally the Grey Currawong appears to be the resident bird.
		This contrasts with the Magpie: A big part of the back is white (male) or white to grey (female and immature), it also has a whitish beak and a red-brown eye.
		A: Although the typical 'squeaking door' sound of the Gang Gang Cockatoo may sometimes be confused with the screetches of the Galah, the Galah has a pink underside and a grey back and tail, the Gang Gang a dark grey body upper and under.

	CSIRO Plant Industry - Summer Student Program the projects
		This project presents an opportunity to learn about biodiversity and evolution through genetic study of a group of birds known as the Grey Fantail complex.
		This group is generally divided into two species based on appearance and behaviour: the Grey Fantail, which is widely distributed in southern, central, and northeastern Australia, and the Mangrove Grey Fantail, which is restricted to mangroves of northern Australia and southern New Guinea.
		The student will use advanced molecular techniques to investigate genetic variation in this group and to compare genetic data with morphological and behavioural information, providing insight into patterns of speciation and biogeography.

		After watching The Edge on the gigantic screen of the Maxivision Theater, the whole afternoon was spent traveling to Grose Vale Conference Centre, where we would spend the night.
		Feeding in the cage of a tree kangaroo was a large flock of RED-BROWED FINCHES (FIRETAIL) and some Bar-shouldered Doves, although I could not see how the doves could have entered the cage, so they probably were not wild birds.
		In the adjacent pond, there was an even larger flock of GREY TEALS mixed with CHESTNUT TEALS, one a breeding male, and PACIFIC BLACK DUCKS.
