Black-eared Miner
Manorina melanotis (Wilson, FE, 1911)
Meliphagidae — Honeyeaters
Black-eared Miner, Manorina melanotis, is a honeyeater of mallee woodland in south-eastern Australia, breeding in south-eastern South Australia and north-western Victoria. It was first described by Wilson in 1911. The bird is closely tied to this habitat and is known for living in colonies during the breeding season, with birds spreading out into the bush at other times. Its status has been debated, and it has also been reported to interbreed with the yellow-throated miner.
