Dear b-aussers, & Bob I & Bob F,
Still no sighting of and Australian Raven around Highcrest Street at
Ocean View (Mt Mee area). I've only been up there 4 days per
fortnight, though, for the past 4 or 6 weeks. Am on the way there
now, and will keep looking.
The Torresian Crows there are building a nest at a new site, partway
up a tall tree BELOW the northern ridge. The old nest in the tree on
the northern ridge was blown out in a big wind-storm a couple of
months ago. If the new nest continues to be built, this brings
observations quite a bit closer to my viewing point.
Anyway, the search continues, with pleasure. Armed with Bob I's
excellent description, Bob F's excellent table, Derek Goodwin's
'Crows of the World', all the Aust bird books, and my own experiences
of the two species, I think I'll notice if an ARaven appears when I'm
there...
Best,
--
