Hi Birders,
I am sure that I have lost the thread of this convoluted message by now and if so I do apologise but I think that the mystery bird heard calling was at Wee Jasper on the NSW South West Slopes. Wee Jasper is outside the range of the Yellow-bellied Glider which is basically a glider of the coastal forests, particularly littoral, rainforests and wet gullies. Powerful Owls mostly only give the "who, who" calls. The "Screaming Woman Bird" is the Barking Owl which usually gives this call during July and August (in NSW), during courtship & territorial matters. Barking Owls should occur at Wee Jasper.
