- Abstract
BirdLife Northern Queensland is deeply saddened by the passing of Dr. Dawn Frith, a remarkable ornithologist, conservationist, and beloved member of our community. Her passion for the natural world, especially the birds of the Wet Tropics, was unparalleled, and her dedication to research alongside her husband, Dr. Clifford Frith, has left a lasting legacy in ornithology.
Their meticulous studies of bowerbirds, birds-of-paradise, and the rich avifauna of our region have shaped our understanding of these extraordinary species. Her love of nature was evident not only in her scientific contributions but also in the joy she shared with those around her.
We are grateful to have known and learned from Dawn, and we celebrate the incredible impact she has had on bird conservation and appreciation. Our thoughts are with Cliff and all who knew and loved her during this difficult time.
