The winter woodland bird survey at North Gooroo on Sunday 26 June was truly wintery with a heavy frost to start, but at least no fog. The reserve was well-saturated with creeks flowing, if not frozen. It is surprisingly hard to move quietly when the whole ground is creaking and cracking with ice. Bird activity was quiet. Only 15 species were recorded within the sites and a further 12 between sites. Magpies, Noisy Miners, Cockatoos and two large groups of Choughs were the most vocal birds. The typical mixed feeding flock of winter was found at only one site but added about 10 species of small birds to the list. Speckled Warbler and Scarlet Robin were recorded at two sites. An uncommon record for Gooroo was of a Common Bronzewing. The only honeyeater was a single White-eared, and a couple of Red Wattlebirds. No Golden Whistler were recorded.
