Field Guide
Carpentarian Grasswren
4 sections
The Carpentarian Grasswren (Amytornis dorotheae) is a ground-dwelling bird found only in the remote sandstone ranges of north-western Queensland and the eastern Northern Territory. Endemic to Australia, it is now endangered due to habitat loss, mainly from frequent wildfires. Its elusive nature and preference for rugged, spinifex-covered hills make it a sought-after species for birdwatchers.
