Thinking about my long-standing ACT bogey bird, the Cicadbird. Why are
they so rare?
In SE Qld they live in rainforest and whilst not common, you see them
regularly. On the NSW coast I've seen them a few times in
schelrophyll. But they seem very few and far between the ACT.
They don't need hollows for nesting and they eat caterpillars, so why
aren't they as common as BFCS are in woodland?
Is it that ACT forests aren't as caterpillar-ridden as coastal forests?
