Re: FW: [canberrabirds] Still at JWNR [SEC=UNCLASSIFIED]

Here is a Koel distribution map from ebird.  

​Quite a few observations are obviously far from the madding crowd.

They have been recorded a few times in Carwoola (but not, so far, this year).  I have had a report of one in Bungendore a few days ago but that is out of my core area of interest - and these days is sort of like a built up area rather than a pleasant rural village.

I can’t help observing that the observers of Koels probably spend most of their time in urban areas!

True, that parasitized Noisy Friarbird nest was further away from urbanization, but still in someone's back garden in a residential area.
