I had thought that the Satin Bowerbirds had mostly left the vicinity of my GBS site in Kambah
about a month ago. However at about 8 p.m. tonight (well, Saturday) a big noise
from one just outside my study window had me looking out there. An all blue SBB
making much more variety of noises than the usual whirls and whistles that the
young ones do, was dancing (side to side jumping around and posturing) in front
of a somewhat possibly interested (I assume) female. He was displaying almost as
though he had a bower there but of course he doesn't. I have had very few prior
obs of blue birds here (and never one in intermediate (ie patchwork transitional
stage).
