Re: birding-aus Last call for migrants

Better late than never as they say in the classics.

We had our first Dollarbirds here at surburban Nundah/Wavell Heights last
weekend.  We back on to the corner of  Shaw Park.  I had seen a pair a week
earlier just south of  Somerset Dam township.  I heard my first Koels in
this area yesterday  but have been hearing them for about four  weeks in
various other parts of SE Q'ld.  First Channel-billed Cuckoos here last
Friday.
Our resident Sacred Kingfishers returned just on four weeks ago and are busy
nesting.  As a matter of interest we have Black-faced Cuckoo-Shrikes nesting
just near our back deck an it is good to see both birds sharing incubation
duties.  I am always amazed at the neat little nest they make for such a
relatively large bird.

Cheers
