Bowerbirds are a unique group of passerines that use elaborate symbolic structures -- bowers -- as part of the male's courtship display. They are highly polygynous and males play no part in the care of offspring. Australia is home to several bowerbirds species; this one (the western bowerbird) lives in the interior and west of the continent. I photographed this male in the campground at Ormiston Gorge National Park, west of Alice Springs in the Northern Territory. |
