Hi David, Well done with the Aust Bird List. I have to confess, that just now
is the first time that I've had a really good look at it. I have now downloaded
it, put in my records, & have let it do all the sums for me. But, I am still 8
spp short for my 700th !! I have had a good look at HANZAB, C&B 2008, etc but I
am still none the wiser on a few things, & I have a couple of questions for you
that are a result of new developments that don't seem to be covered in these
references... I am not sure about the 2 Emerald Doves & the 2 Eudynamys Koels
listed, so far as which spp occurs where ...I have seen the doves in NW Aust, E
Aust & Lord Howe Is - have I seen both??I have seen Koels throughout mainland
Aust also - which is it that I have seen?? The rest of the new arrangement I
could work out, but these stumped me!! Thanks in advance for your
clarifications, Martin Cachard,Cairns,0428 782 808
