Apostle birds

["Reid" <>]

Driving from Canberra to Sydney earlier today, saw three apostle birds
beside the Hume Highway about 5 km north of the verhicle checking station at
Marulan - first time ever I had seen them on the Hume, but have never once
travelled the Sturt without seeing them.

Any guesses as to what is the attraction of these birds to roadside verges?
Dead insects killed by cars, perhaps?

And by the way, what was that bird that was calling and keeping me awake
pre-dawn on Northbourne Avenue for the last two nights?

Regards

Reid
