I was in the yard this afternoon when I heard a virtuouso sub-song of crackles and whistles above me in the tree. I thought "Don't look up, every time you look up to an interesting bird-sound it's Mynahs, and then they cackle and sneer at you". However, after a while the singing got too interesting, with nice double-syrinx work, and I had to look up... to see an immature Satin Bowerbird above me, with two others nearby. As all were identical and very pale in plumage I assume they were three sub-adults sticking together, rather than a mother and two offspring. This is in Hughes. -- John Leonard Canberra Australia www.jleonard.net ******************************************************************************************************* This is the email announcement and discussion list of the Canberra Ornithologists Group.
