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.
