Hi all
I have needed to unconfirm several Long-billed Corella records in recent weeks as the photos submitted showed what were clearly hybrid birds. Little and Long-billed Corellas interbreed, and the hybrids show varying amounts of red across the throat as well
as on the lores (between bill and eye).
For our newer birders in particular, before submitting an eBird record for Long-billed Corella, please check a field guide (hard copy or app), or Macaulay Library - or whatever authoritative guide works for you. Document your sighting in eBird and/or take
a photo to upload later.
Happy birding
Kim
