Our two eagerly-awaited tawny frogmouth chicks first appeared from under dad on Sunday Dec 2nd. Last Friday morning 7th they were sitting in the nest
on their own, no parent in sight. We were then out all day and on our return the nest was empty.
No sign of the family since. Could the chicks have moved away so soon or could that lurking jabberwocky the pied currawong have taken them?? Libby

Elizabeth You were interested in any sightings of these since the nesting event. Snapped just now in the backyard sitting just above head height in an old Dawson River Callistemon. (A durable species. It was quite
old when I moved here 30 years ago.) The nearer bird is distinctly smaller than the other so I suppose one of the recent young. A hunting fmouth flew close over my head the other night, which happens occasionally. They are noiseless fliers like owls.
