Well, I'm as sure as I can be (see your second question below for that
qualification!) that there ARE Forest Ravens as far east as Moggs Creek,
maybe a little further east to Anglesea. I'm not all that sympathetic
to listing "Raven, sp." on a survey log, as I don't think it's really so
hard to split them in the field into "species" (whether they be good
species or not).

Anyone have their Christidis & Boles handy????
