Hello Tom, Jill and All,
Wonderful critters those Channel-bills.  I saw 2 but, from the calls, there
could have been 3 or 4 on the Chelmer reach of the Brisbane River.  I speculate
somewhat on the route and destination of these migrants.  Also, I have heard
that they gather up their offspring and fly back together.  I don't know if that
is known for sure.

Reports on Birding-aus seem to indicate that CBC's arrive in Sydney and points
south earlier than they arrive in the Brisbane area.  I wonder if this is really
the case and , if so, could they be coming from different places at different
times, eg the "Sydney" birds from Indonesia and the "Queensland" birds from New
Guinea, or some such.  Is there anyone interested/knowledgeable in how these
birds get about?

Regards,
Ros.

P.S. Tom, I wouldn't mind a Crimson Chat.
