Mike Tarburton's message from PNG is interesting re Channel-bills. As of
yesterday on our property near Mt Cotton, SE Qld, we still have several
immature but apparently fully fledged Channel-bills being fed by their
crow hosts - presumably they will depart shortly.

Dear Birding OZies

A number of people have mentioned the possible departure of  "their"
migrants so It might be interesting to such people and others to know
that the first Channel-billed Cuckoo I have heard passed over our campus
14 mile out of Port Moresby last Wednesday and that the first Sacred
kingfisher to be seen on campus was seen on Sunday and again today.

Remember I reported that only one fledling (Bird of the year) Sacred
kingfisher made it to campus last year so we are hoping for a few more
replacements this year.  We normally have quite a few arrivals, but last
year apepared to be a tough one for sacred in Eastern Australia..

Cheers

Mike
