Boatbills are one of the common little birds of north Queensland rainforests, not that easy to see up in the canopy but their short song repeated over and over is a constant reminder of their presence. Sample 131-400 presents a few variations in the song of one male I recorded at Broadwater Forest Park west of Ingham. Sample 091-400 is another male from Lockerbie Scrub at Cape York. Sample 090-020 is another individual from Lockerbie Scrub. Sample 071-450 is a bird from Palmerston National Park west of Innisfail. Sample LS00025 is a recording of a morning chorus from the rainforest at Iron Range - the other birds were so loud I have enhanced the call of the boatbill so you can pick it out. Notice the similarity to Cape York birds. There are two subspecies of the Yellow-breasted Boatbill in Australia, one from Iron Range northwards and the other from about Cooktown south to Paluma. They do appear to have different songs.
