Forty-spotted Pardalote (Pardalotus quadragintus) - 20221028-05

            Tiny greenish bird restricted to a small range in Tasmania. Primarily greenish-gray. Black wings with obvious white spots. Adults have yellow face, which is absent in juveniles. Take care to distinguish from juvenile Spotted Pardalote (which is more boldly marked on the back and more spotted on the crown). Only found in areas of dry forest in Tasmania. Forages almost exclusively on manna gum (Eucalyptus viminalis) and is typically only present where there are trees old enough to have hollows for nesting.  (eBird)
-----------------
This was our only chance to find this endangered bird and it was pouring buckets of rain on us.  The ground was sodden (so much for "dry forest" habitat).  But, there it was, this tiny bird, singing in the rain.  It has forty white spots in its wings.  A wonderful experience that I hope other birders will experience into the future.
