ACT Region Hotline Highlights

[Ian Fraser <>]

Highlights from twice-weekly Canberra Ornithologists' Group (COG) hotline,
for week ending 12 December (some reports are of earlier obs).

SPINE-TAILED SWIFTS (or W-t Needletail if you MUST)     29/11 over Canberra
(this is about a week early; still only singles - flocks should be along soon)

SPOTTED & SPOTLESS CRAKE        9/12 at suburban Jerrabomberra Wetlands (in
same binocular field at once!)

SPANGLED DRONGO         11/12 suburban Hughes (only 4th record for Canberra,
first since 1990)

DOLLARBIRD feeding flying young         6/11 (if this is correct, would be
abut 2 months early!!)

Cheers,

Ian
