Re: unusual visitor

I've lived in the same house for over 40 years, and this is the first kookaburra I've seen in my yard, so yes, very unusual for me. That said, I see them fairly regularly

 in the reserves, and on powerlines along major roads in the ACT.

Are kookaburras becoming so unusual in Canberra that the sighting of them is important enough to report? The Report still calls them Common Breeding Resident. But also notes that there is a slow decline.  Is the fact that I see and hear them almost every day from my place (Nicholls, backing onto Ginninderra Creek) deluding me into thinking they are still common?  At what point do the editors list them as Uncommon Breeding Resident?

I have seen kookaburras in Telopia Park, Barton on two occasions in the last week or two.

I heard a kookaburra at home (Kambah) last week. Also unusual, though not a first. They are regularly perched on the light poles on Tuggeranong Parkway adjacent to Mt Taylor.

went into my front yard right now to find out what the commotion was about - and found a kookaburra sitting in my leafless ash tree, just metres from the front doot. The first one in my yard that I can ever remember. The local noisy miners, magpies and pied currawongs are not happy!
