Black-eared Miner

Manorina melanotis

Endangered

The Black-eared Miner is a social, vocal honeyeater that forages in woodland canopies and defends flowering trees in arid inland Australia. It uses its brush-tipped tongue to exploit flowers and often follows seasonal blooms; local movements can make it conspicuous when trees are in flower. Fun fact: honeyeaters are important pollinators across Australasia and the Pacific.
