Hello Jack
 I too feel that there has been a reduction in the numbers of 
Channel-billed Cuckoos  in my area around St.Ives this season .The 
numbers of Pied Currawongs also have  been noticeably fewer the past two 
years. Gone are the large congregations that were common in the past . 
My largest count for one flock about 5 years ago , was 142 gathered for 
a" Currawong Chorus" in the trees about my house
I am still hearing  CB's , Koels and Dollar Birds, but with the 
exception of the Dollar Bird , they are not as enthusiastic as they 
were  earlier in the season.

 Yesterday morning I heard a Channel-billed Cuckoo calling, as it was 
flying across Willoughby Bay in North Cremorne.
 This summer there have been fewer sighting of these birds , although 
there were several Koels around.
