All,
I saw a group of at least 7 in the East MacDonnell Ranges in early September
The rains have moved a lot of birds around, so don't be suprised to see many
birds "out of range"
cheers

> I forgot one bird I thought I should have mentioned in my previous report- I
> had a Brown Quail on the Valley of the Winds trail, at Kata Tjuta where it
> begins the circular portion. I thought it was going to be a Stubble Quail,
> but it was mostly dark brown, strongly barred underneath (not streaked) and
> ran with it's neck outstreatched. It isn't shown on the range maps I have
> access to, so am not sure how often it occurs at Kata Tjuta.
