No Boobooks calling in middle Macquarie this year. Very
quiet the last few years.
Some years ago successful nesting with two chicks raised in
Eucalyptus blakelyi on our nature strip . Following attempts foiled
by Cockatoos and Indian Mynas.

| [canberrabirds] Where have all
the Boobooks gone? |
|
It is mid October and this reminds me that I have not heard a Boobook
in Canberra since before the bushfires of January 2003 (although I
have found them in daytime roosts). Is this a shared experience?
If
so does anyone have a rationale for this? Clearly the
species is
still present in the ACT but it has become very
inconspicuous.
Gang-Gang and Yellow-tailed Black-Cockatoos became more
conspicuous
for a couple of years post inferno but they also appear
to have
decreased in numbers during the last 12
months.
