On the hunt for lorikeet roosts!

Hi Everyone,

To help us in our investigation of LPS, we are looking to gain a better understanding of rainbow lorikeet movements in our study area. And who knows the study area better than you! Our citizen scientists!

We are asking our citizen scientists to let us know the location of any lorikeet roosts they are aware of. For those of you who have walked or driven past a roost site, you know they are hard to miss, as the birds make their presence known with their loud calls. For those who have not had the pleasure, a lorikeet roost site is where large numbers of lorikeets congregate at night.

We would love to hear from all of our members, so feel free to either leave a comment on this journal post, or send @lozb97 a message through iNaturalist. Speaking of members, this week we would like to welcome two new members: @dpcdpc and @bron112. We look forward to seeing your observations.

Stay safe and Happy Rainbow Lorikeet spotting!

Lauren, David, Maya, Holly
