Further to the Stony Creek list, Phil, a Uriarra resident who works planting
trees along the Murrumbidgee, told me yesterday there is a wedge tailed
eagle nest with young in the reserve. You go along the dirt track off
Brindabella Road (just up the hill from the village headed towards the
Cotter) which leads to the Cord and Civil depot. Follow the track down to
the river and you can look down into the nest from above. It would be a good
idea to check first with Cord and Civil to see if the gate near Brindabella
Road is open. Sometimes it is closed but you can always walk in.
On other babies - two of the magpie lark young have managed to fly but the
third is still in the nest. There is a nest with three willy wagtails on a
box on the front wall of 89 Jim Bradley. There are young satin bowerbirds
but I haven't seen the nest.

A little later this morning at Stony Creek - Painted Honeyeaters, Dusky
Woodswallows with dependent young plus further Dusky Woodswallows taking
food to a hollow (presumably containing a nest), plus also a Starling taking
food to a hollow (presumably also containing a nest). Most of the birds
reported for this site over the last couple of weeks were also present,
including both Gerygones, but I missed out on the sitellas (sittellas always
seem to be where I am not).

This morning from 8:00, the Painted Honeyeaters were still on the nest near
the entrance from Uriarra NR to Stony Creek NR. White-browed Woodswallow
were on a nest (hollow) in the next tree. Mary Gorman and I also saw Varied
Sitella on a nest and Dusky Woodswallow with dependent young.
