Atherton Scrubwren
4 sections
The Atherton Scrubwren is a small bird found exclusively in the rainforests of the Atherton Tablelands in far north Queensland, Australia. It is notable for its very limited distribution. Adapted to life in high-altitude tropical rainforests, where it spends much of its time foraging on the forest floor, it is one of the region’s most range-restricted bird species.
