as a regular winter saltmarsh skulker [searching for Orange-bellied
Parrots] I can assure you that Horsfield's Bronze-Cuckoos regularly
overwinter in saltmarsh in southern Victoria.

Yesterday while doing a wader count at Moolap Saltworks in Geelong several
observers recorded Horsfield's Bronze-Cuckoos.  I saw two at fairly close
range.  Both were calling often.  My guess is that these are overwintering
birds.  I know Fantailed Cuckoos often overwinter in Geelong - is it
likely HB-C's do as well?  And what about Shining Bronze?
