White-cheeked honeyeaters resemble New Holland honeyeaters and share much of the same distribution and habitat, but generally are not as common or obvious. White-cheeks are 'neater' looking, without the wild head plumes and staring pale eye of the New Holland. Both species feed mainly on floral nectars and are fond of Banksias and gravilleas. White-cheeked honeyeaters occur in both the southwestern and southeastern corners of Australia; the western birds have smaller white cheek patches than eastern birds. These were photographed in Kings Park in downtown Perth, Western Australia, and in a garden in Julatten, far-north Queensland. |
