Subject: RE: [Canberrabirds] Seasonal migration of Australian birds
Rob - Not as well studied as in some other places certainly, especially Aust < > New Guinea movements. Depends on extent of your interest, but you can go to online HANZAB and
look under ‘Movements’ for each species (often ‘Not well known’) or go to online EMU (if you have access) or even online Canberra Bird Notes and do a search for something like ‘migration honeyeater’ for example

Rob,
you can have a look at this publication:
Griffioen, P.A. and Clarke, M.F. (2002) Large-scale bird-movement patterns evident in eastern Australian atlas data. Emu 102: 99-125.
No doubt, there are some others.

Has there been any scientific studies of seasonal migration by Australian birds? Some birds from other countries are obvious migrants (like Lathams Snipe), but it seems like many endemic species migrate at least between altitudes if not
north and south. Various Robins and Honeyeaters come down from the ranges in winter. Many seem to migrate to the coast. I grew up thinking that bird migrations were largely a northern hemisphere phenomenon. The only migrants I thought about as a child were
cuckoos.
Are there published studies about the seasonal migration of endemic birds?
