Well yes. Here also a lot less of the "Koel" "coo-ee" call. A lot of shreaking.
Especially when M & F are flying together. Also several times heard a new
unfamiliar (to me) call a cackling sound very much like a Dollarbird. I thought
it was a Dollarbird. I believe by the female Koel. I believe someone else also
mentioned that. They are calling during the night and most at dawn.

I won't get into the nesting of Koels and raptors but something that I
have noticed this year if that the male koel(s) in Kaleen are NOT giving
their typical, usual "coo-ee (or koel) call. I have only heard it twice
this season and then only very early when they first arrived. Both sexes
are giving their other regular calls, and a lot of funny calls that I
have not heard before. They are also NOT calling in the middle of the night.
Anyone else finding this? The birds were somewhat late in arriving in
Kaleen this year.
