The call carries a long way. They are sufficiently common in our area, maybe you missed seeing today, you won’t have any troubles seeing them.

Subject: [canberrabirds] Heard, not seen: Olive-backed Oriole
In Belconnen near the Jamison Centre.
Initially thought it sounded like a Black-faced Cuckoo-Shrike but wasn't right so spun up Peter & Ederic's CD and it was definitely an Oriole, which I haven't seen one of yet.
Sadly I didn't get outside with my binos quickly enough.
