I added another local location for this bird
yesterday.
It was at Gunpowder Creek crossing, on the road
(currently washed out) to Mount Oxide just north
of Gunpowder township (115km NW of the Isa)
I have also sighted it
- 65km E of Isa (Clem Walton Park -
near Mary Kathleen)
- 60km NE of Isa (private property on a
Station Dam)
- 30km E of Isa (1 km sth of
Barkly Hwy on track to East Leichhardt River dam)
Other items of interest:-
1 The Pheasant Coucal and
House Sparrow have extended their territory to include
Gunpowder.
2 Channel-billed Cuckoo last heard 3
to 4 weeks ago.
3 Only saw one of each Dollarbird and
Common Koel this last week.

Evolution......is a theory that lumps and
bumps on the
ends
of tree branches are looking more & more like
birds!
