		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s Sunday &#8211; my one day off of the week &#8211; so Steve and I headed out for a morning of birding. Since I&#8217;ve been at Mornington Station for more than four months now, the pickings are getting slim for new birds. Today we scored, though, with four lifers within hours of each other: Yellow-throated [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Australia is sometimes called the land of parrots (I think there&#8217;s even a TV series called &#8220;Australia: Land of Parrots&#8221;) &#8211; and we&#8217;ve got abunchathem here at Mornington. Most common are probably Little Corellas &#8211; tall as my forearm, pure white, with a crazy crest and even crazier facial expressions. We&#8217;ve also got Sulphur-crested Cockatoos [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Just back from two days in the field. Joey and I surveyed fairy-wrens all day Saturday, hiking 15 kilometers along the Hann River, then camped out to spend Sunday morning birding Lake Gladstone. Our camp site turned out to be mosquito-infested, so, instead of spending Saturday night relaxing by a campfire, we were both jammed [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday, while searching for fairy-wrens along the Adcock River, I suddenly felt something big crawling up my pant leg. Assuming an ant, I swiped it out &#8211; but then the thing flew off, and it turned into a very large, beetle-like bug with long, bright orange antennae. It bit me a couple times on the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s been raining for the last eight hours &#8211; very strange for the dry season at Mornington. This morning all the roads are closed, campers and tourists are trapped, and interns and staff are dealing with soggy tents. I walked into the office to find Martha asleep on the couch &#8211; her tent had turned [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Michelle, Joey and I spent a rigorous day yesterday exploring some new territory on Mount House, a neighboring active cattle station about 2 hours drive away, looking for fairy-wrens along two sections of the Adcock River. We found some fairy-wrens, but particularly exciting were two Black-headed Pythons, one in the morning and one in the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There&#8217;s a reason these guys are sometimes called &#8220;flying foxes&#8221; &#8211; just look at that face. Like a fox with wings. Or maybe a baby gorilla (actually, Joey just told me that fruit bats used to be considered as relatives of primates, but it&#8217;s been disproved). These bats, called Black Fruit Bats, hang around during [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday was freakishly cold here &#8211; it only reached 19.5 C (67 F), with heavy clouds and scattered drizzle throughout the day. It might have been the coldest day in several years at Mornington. Today, though, it&#8217;s back to the mid-30s (mid-90s), more typical winter weather, with the usual blazing sunshine. Which is good because [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[On Saturday night a few of us headed to take advantage of the full moon by canoeing down Dimond Gorge. We reckoned it would be epic, even before knowing there would be a lunar eclipse! Turned out that about 70% of the moon was obscured by Earth&#8217;s shadow as we prepared to launch our canoes.
