Hi Birders,
The adult female Cotton-Pygmy Goose
at Lane Cove National Park was initially located on a tidal backwater channel of
Stringybark Creek, Lane Cove on 6 July 1991. The bird was subsequently observed
in the general area until the 29th November 1992. The NSW Records Appraisal
Committee dealt with the observation as case No 64 and accepted the record. The
details concerning the observation was published in the "Second Report of
the NSWORAC" in Australian Birds 26, 1321-132, June
1993.
As the Bar-shouldered Dove continues
to expand its range southwards into the Sydney and Illawarra Regions, it would
be most likely that one was recorded in Lane Cove NP. The comment "record
generated 28/3/03" relates to when the details of the observation was entered
into the NPWS Willdife Atlas data base, not when the bird was seen.
