Spotted
The Fawn-breasted Bowerbird is a distinctive bowerbird known for its fawn-colored underparts and greyish-brown upperparts. It is found in New Guinea and parts of northern Australia.
Where to spot
Inhabits open forests, mangroves, and woodlands along the southern and eastern coasts of New Guinea and the northern tip of Queensland, Australia.
How to spot
Look for its unique coloring and listen for its loud, raspy calls. Search for its bower in dense undergrowth, often near forest edges or clearings.
When to spot
Active year-round. Breeding and bower display activity usually peaks during the dry season in New Guinea and the spring/summer months in Australia.

The male builds an 'avenue' type bower, which he decorates with green fruits, seeds, and leaves, carefully chosen to contrast with the surrounding drabber environment.
