I am a little confused RE the following two birds' migrations
in/through SEQ: the Spangled Drongo and the Silvereye.
Some of my books say that Spangled Drongos migrate both north
and south, away from us here. Can anyone expand on this? (The birds
returned to us a couple of weeks ago.)
This last winter I looked eagerly for southern-subspecies
Silvereyes to pass through Brisbane, expecting to have to distinguish
them from the local Silvereyes. What appeared to happen instead (at
least in Clayfield [Brisbane north]) was that ALL the Silvereyes
disappeared!( The 'locals' reappeared recently with the warmer
weather.) So, which is more likely -- a fault in my observation, or a
failure in my understanding?
Cheers!
