Dear Bruce and all
When we were at Well 50 at the northern end of the Canning Stock Route
in 1994, we found Pheasant Coucal there and also on the eastern shores
of Lake Gregory. This was well south of their range according to the
field guides but considered due to their flying south or being swept
south by the 2002 cyclone which had dumped an enormous amount of rain on
the area. The area around Well 50 was thickly vegetated. We also found
Brown Quail there and much further south at Well 33. An example I hazard
of Australian birds' nomadism and to take advantage of rainfall wherever
it occurs.
Happy birding
