The Black-eared Miner, '' Manorina melanotis'', is a critically endangered Honeyeater endemic to Mallee woodland in south-eastern Australia . It is closely related to the much more widely distributed Yellow-throated Miner ''M. flavigula'' and the taxonomic status of the Black-eared Miner is the subject of some controversy, with some researchers considering it a subspecies of ''M. flavigula''. Black-eared Miners are co-operative breeders, living in colonies during the breeding season, and dispersing into the bush during non-breeding periods. Little is known of their movements during these periods. EXTERNAL LINK |
