Observations of ground-foraging by Rufous-Banded Honeyeaters Conopophila albogularis

Observations of Rufous-banded Honeyeaters Conopophila albogularis ground-foraging amongst tall grass near Darwin are described. Previous published studies indicate that ground-foraging is rare for this species. These observations suggest that ground-foraging may constitute an established foraging behaviour at certain times.
