Dusky Gerygone

Gerygone tenebrosa

The dusky gerygone, known scientifically as Gerygone tenebrosa, is a diminutive and rather inconspicuous bird that graces the family Acanthizidae with its presence. It is a creature that has evolved specifically to thrive in the unique ecosystems it inhabits.

Identification Tips

When endeavoring to identify the dusky gerygone, one should note its modest size and the subtle coloration that allows it to blend seamlessly into its surroundings. Its plumage is not ostentatious, but rather a practical attire for a life amidst the foliage.

Habitat

The dusky gerygone is a denizen of subtropical or tropical mangrove forests, where it finds refuge and sustenance. These coastal ecosystems provide the perfect backdrop for the bird's existence.

Distribution

This species is endemic to the coastal central and northern regions of Western Australia, a testament to its specialized habitat requirements and the evolutionary path it has taken.

Conservation status

The IUCN Red List categorizes the dusky gerygone as Least Concern, indicating that, for now, this species is not at immediate risk of decline. However, one must remain vigilant to ensure that its status remains secure.

Subspecies

There are two recognized subspecies of the dusky gerygone: G. t. tenebrosa and G. t. christophori. Each has adapted to its own niche within the species' overall range, showcasing the diversity of life even within a single species.

A Friendly Place
I love using the bird app, I have a pretty good knowledge of birds. But I do have some gaps in it, so it’s nice to have a safe space to check on a sighting to confirm the species. It’s really enjoyable and I love the badges you can collect. It’s like a real life Pokémon go.

Just what birding needs
We need more fun in birding, for years it has had a reputation for being up tight and stuffy and only perused by retirees and anoraks. Birda helps change that perception and firmly brings birding into the 21st century! Fun, interactive while still contributing to science and conservation. If you aren’t on it, why not??

Terrific App for Birders
Downloaded Birda around the time my interest in birding was sparked, and it has been a terrific app to help me (1) share my experience, (2) document my sightings, and (3) learn more about birds in general. That said, I also believe Birda is a fantastic app for birders of all experience levels. Great community!

A great app
Enjoying it immensely and finding it useful too. Recording the different birds and counting them is showing me how the present climate is affecting them all. I've trebled the numbers by planting native hedging. A great app.
