In the early 1990's (probably 1991) I remember tracking down a Spiny-cheeked Honeyeater in Cocoparra NP (near in Griffith in SW NSW) that wasmdoing a perfect imitation of a Grey Shrike-thrush.
The only SCHE that I can recall having heard mimic.
Cheers,
Peter

Hi Birders,
This past Easter Weekend I travelled out to Lightning Ridge with my family and camped out along the Narran River. Early Sunday morning my father and I went for a birding walk and followed the call of an Olive backed Oriole. You can imagine our suprise when we found, not an Oriole, but a Spiny cheeked Honeyeater calling and mimicing several birds. Included in its repertoire was Mudlark, Wedge tailed Eagle, Oriole, and several other calls I didn't recognise.
Has anyone else ever found this species to mimic.
cheers
Glenn McRae
