Cape York has two true endemic birds - Golden-shouldered Parrot and White-streaked Honeyeater - which we hope to find.
There are many other restricted range birds species which on mainland Australia are exclusively seen in Cape York, including Spotted Whistling-duck, Palm Cockatoo, Eclectus Parrot, Red-cheeked Parrot, Yellow-billed Kingfisher, Black-eared Catbird, Frill-necked Monarch, Trumpet Manucode and Magnificent Riflebird. The ranges of these birds extend through the Torres Straits into New Guinea.
The region also provides an opportunity of seeing other bird specials that occur more widely like Red Goshawk, Sarus Crane, Bridled Tern, Lesser Frigatebird, Beach Stone-curlew, Eastern Grass Owl, Marbled Frogmouth, several fruit-doves and honeyeaters, and Black-throated and Star Finch.
