FYI
Margaret, Charles and I all agreed the snake
seen on that original outing was a highland copperhead
Not that you have to count it with the
avian fauna.
Saw 4 Brown Falcons and 2 Wedge tailed
Eagles between Cowra and Canowindra yesterday and 2 Brown Falcons before between
Cowra and Boorowa. It is good to see some of this country looking green.

Subject: [canberrabirds] Hospital
Creek Hut survey
Those that attended the Hospital Creek outing late last
year may be interested to know that I returned to this site exactly three
months after our visit, on Saturday 3 March, 2007.
I
did an area survey within 500m of the hut, in the early morning, and recorded a
total of 32 species. The most abundant species was the Fuscous Honeyeater and there were also good
numbers of White-naped Honeyeater
and quite a few White-eared Honeyeater
and Yellow-faced Honeyeater. There
were also quite a lot of Scarlet Robin,
including many immature. I also saw both White-throated Treecreeper and Red-browed Treecreeper, a single Fan-tailed Cuckoo and Olive-backed
Oriole. Overhead were a small flock of White-throated Needletail.
If
anyone knows the COG grid cell that this site belongs to could they please
email me offline. Thank you.
In
other sightings within Canberra, I saw a flock
of 10 Rainbow Bee-eater over Lake Tuggeranong,
and in the trees between the college and the skate park, on Sunday 4 March, and
2 Brown Quail yesterday in the
grassland between Kambah and Fisher, next to the bike path that runs parallel
to the Tuggeranong Parkway.
