You will recall from Jerry Olsen's periodic presentations to COG that
Canberra's population of boobooks occupies the woodlands fairly completely,
with contiguous territories. I suppose young birds have trouble finding a
territory, and turn up in all sorts of places as the try to do so, no doubt
calling in unexpected places, as well.

posse of around 25 Pied Currawongs, supported by a dozen or so Red Wattlebirds,
hounding one poor S. Boobook from tree to tree until it disappeared, with
retinue, in a northerly direction. Not popular round here, those Boobooks...
