For Sydney birders who may be interested, atleast a
pair of Pacific Bazas have been regularly inabiting Nurrangingy Reserve at
Doonside (off Knox Rd near Blacktown) about 45km west of Sydney. They were last
seen at the "Kookaburra" picnic area and like many other Bazas, these are
quite approachable. Though there are several Baza pairs or groups around Sydney,
they are often hard to reliably sight in any specifc location except when
breeding. From what I have heard these birds may infact eventually breed in this
reserve.
