Winterbirds 2011

["Mark Clayton" <>]

All this talk about the "winter birds" has reminded me of something I meant
to send out back in late April, and May. On the north side of Kaleen where I
live I did NOT record a single Yellow-faced or White-naped Honeyeater moving
through the garden when I usually see quite a few. I did a few surveys out
Sutton/Gundaroo way and all I saw was one small flock of (from memory) 5
Yellow-faced He. I know Elizabeth C and others were seeing hundreds to the
south and east of Canberra so where did the birds that usually go through
north Canberra go??

I thought I heard White-naped Honeyeaters in the Aranda Bushland on Sunday 
12 June but didn't have bins with me. Has anyone else seen/heard WNHEs 
recently?
