Elizabeth noted a Black Shouldered Kite perhaps 1km
away from Mt Rogers.
I once hoped that there were resident BSKs on Mt
Rogers but I'm sure the area is too small. What territorial area would they
need?
However Tuesday's (21st) highlight was a "begging"
juvenile with parent BSK in a dead Cootamundra wattle near the summit. (More
evidence that these trees aren't valueless weeds)
Yesterday's highlight was a Boobook Owl very alert,
unmolested and not particulaly wary of me. Both sightings occurred at about
13:00hrs in cold, partly cloudy to squally conditions.
