The Atherton Scrubwren is a highly localized and elusive bird endemic to the wet tropical rainforests of the Atherton Tableland in northeastern Queensland, Australia. It is a small, dark, secretive bird, very similar in appearance to the White-browed Scrubwren, from which it was only recently split.
Where to spot
Endemic to the wet tropical rainforests of the Atherton Tableland and adjacent ranges in northeastern Queensland, Australia, primarily in dense undergrowth.
How to spot
Best identified by its distinctive calls, which differ subtly from other scrubwrens in its range. Look for it foraging on the rainforest floor or low in tangled vegetation. Requires careful observation and local knowledge.
When to spot
Observable year-round. Most active at dawn and dusk.
