  • Australian Dictionary of Biography (online) 15 November 2021: (Thomas Carter (1863-1931), ornithologist and pastoralist, was born on 6 April 1863 at Masham, Yorkshire, England. Before migrating to Western Australia Carter had published a number of papers in British wildlife journals and had been to Iceland to study birdlife. Landing at Carnarvon in 1887, he was employed as jackeroo on Boolathanna station and wrote his first notes for the British wildlife magazine the Zoologist, launching the modern period in intensive studies of Western Australian birds. He lived at Port Cloates 1889-1902 and charted the entrances through the dangerous reefs. In 1903 he returned to England, but made several return visits. He died in Yorkshire on 29 January 1931. He was a member of the British Ornithologists' Union and a foundation member of the Royal Australasian Ornithologists' Union.) https://adb.anu.edu.au/biography/carter-thomas-5526
