I just stopped in at Daisy Hill south of Brisbane to check on the Square-tailed 
Kite nest and it appears that the young have fledged as the nest was empty.  
When I first walked up I saw a bird that appeared to be sunning itself (wings 
half open sort of like a darter/cormorant).  The bird was backlit so I decided 
to walk up the 4WD track to get a better look and when I looked up again the 
bird was gone.  No idea where it went.  I then watched the nest for a while and 
never saw anything.

The Tawny Frogmouths were still on the nest with 2 young at the base of the 4WD 
track in the top of a snag.

Other than that not much to report.  Thanks for everyone who has responded to 
my RFI's of last night.  I will post results in the next few weeks.

Best,
Drew
