Hi Paul
A week ago in Cooma I observed flocks of 20 or so yfhe's moving through town.
Yesterday near Moss Vale there were flocks of up to 60 birds moving through.
I am interested to know what triggers the migration. It has been suggested that
the first really cold night in the region sets them off. I don't know much
about migration patterns. Anyone have any info to share?

Subject: Yellow-faced Honeyeaters Migrating
Hello everyone,
I was not locked up in my airconditioned office today (Saturday) and I
noticed that there were a few small flocks (5-8) of Yellow-facced
honeyeaters moving through suburban Scullin in the ACT. It has been an
unusually long how and dry summer and I personally have not seen any
Yellow-faced honeyeaters since spring. Has anyone else seen any movement
this week. I don't suppose they would have noted the end of daylight saving
occurs tonight.
