Hi Birders,
Central Coast birder and former
resident of the Wanganella-Boorooban area of far south-west NSW, Maragret
Pointer reports that her sister-in-law Glenis Nevison, of The Ranch Homestead,
Wangella saw in her garden for two days a pair of Red-tailed Black Cockatoos.
They camped in the homestead garden from 8-9 May 2002, feeding and roosting in a
Box eucalypt. As the northern population of Red-tailed Black Cockatoos in NSW
are only found basically in or near the Darling River to as far south as
Menindee, in western NSW, it is possible that these birds a part of the western
Victoria population. All the local Deniliquin birders came out to view the
Cockies.
