Whilst recovering from shoulder surgery, I am -- at long last --
putting our Australian trip list from the winter (your summer) of 1993-94) into
our computer records. I have figured out most of the taxonomic questions
along the way, but one remains unclear.
Our list has a sighting of Broad-Tailed Thornbill. I seem to recall
that even then there was some uncertainty about this as a separate species, and
now it seems to have disappeared. What I am uncertain about is whether it
is part of the Brown Thornbill or the Inland Thornbill. Google research
pointed in both directions.
Thanks for any assistance.
