Bridled terns courting. Among other behaviors there is ritual feeding with the male regurgitating something that looks like saliva (=a clear slightly slimy-looking fluid) that the female eats.

Banaquit, Scan, almost certainly taken with a Sigma 300m f4 APO macro, most probably on a *ist.

Female and male purple honeycreeper. I guess as is traditional with many human societies the female takes the male's name. Scans. They were in very deep shade, so hand holding a 300mm with ISO 64 slide film pretty much guaranteed poor IQ.

White plumed honey eater. There are many species of honey eater in Australia, hopefully I have the right id for this one.

I think you do. Amazed at the number of species you managed to photograph on your Australia trip. And at your success in identifying them. Shows high skills and attention to detail, if I may say so.
