Subject: Re: [canberrabirds] Dusky Woodswallow Yeah I've still got 100s DWs @ a couple of diff roosts in the hills near yass river. Orioles gone. Strangely no migrating honeyeaters or silvereyes over Easter.

Around 100 Dusky Woodswallows coming in to roost in pine trees along Jerrabomberra Ave in Narrabundah this evening. It was quite a spectacle! Definitely the largest flock I've seen of this species. I had several Dusky Woodswallows flying very high over my house on Wednesday and Thursday. I don't know how many. Most I could see at one time was 3 but mostly I could only hear them. I also had an Olive-backed Oriole in my neighbour's jungle yard, feeding on figs, last week. -----Original Message-----

Subject: Re: [canberrabirds] Dusky Woodswallow Wayne/Ann, of the summer migrants Duskies are among the last to leave, and along with the Olive-backed Oriole stay in reasonable numbers until about the first or second week of May, though some stay and overwinter – the numbers that stay varies with in 2013 very few duskies present during the winter period.
