Birding-Aussers:
Has Australian Koel (Eudynamys cyanocephala) been recently split from Asian
Koel (E. scolopacea)? Clements in his new checklist has listed them his way;
does anyone know the appropriate citation?
Is it correct to say therefore that this would leave the resident Solomon Is
koels as E. s. alberti, and that during the austral winter E. cyanocephala
subsp. would occur there also? What would be the approximate months of
winter residence of cyanocephala in the Solomons? Apr-Oct?
The recent (March 1997) specimen picked up in NZ was listed as Common Koel
in Notornis (47:64). Does anyone know if the specimen has been identified to
(sub)species, ie is it cyanocephala?
Thanks for any light on this subject!
Ross
