‘Frogmouths of Yesteryear’, Muriel. The
much-observed family in the tree by Wybalena Grove, Cook, during the Great
Swift Parrot Transit of Nov 04 (where Roger Curnow took his first bird photo),
and the voyeuristic pair (pretending not to watch) on a level with Terry Gourlay’s
bathroom window, Hackett. Perhaps your snowflake was from the Class of ’04?

Tawny Frogmouth in Cook, Wednesday night 27/8/8 in Teague Street.
It
floated up through the headlights from the side of the road like a large
snowflake. It then glared down from a lowish branch of eucalypt with its
bristling whiskers beautifully catching the torchlight in the dark.
No sign of it the following morning.
