birding-aus Autumn migrants

[Phil Gregory <>]

Lots of Dollarbirds, Rainbow Bee-eaters and Rufous Fantails since
mid-March around Kuranda, plus a good passage of Channel-billed Cuckoos,
and 2 Square-tailed Kites along Black Mountain Road, Kuranda on March
31. A mystery honeyeater photographed in a Kuranda garden is a
Yellow-tufted, well out of known range and very nicely photographed, I
just wish I'd seen it!
Noisy Pittas have been silent for some time now, and there is not much
noise from the Victoria Riflebirds. The big female cassowary is still
accompanying the 3 well grown chicks, and they come to Cassowary House
most days. The male bird has gone off on his own since cyclone Rona, and
we see him several times a week for a brief visit.
Happy birding
