White-headed Pigeons in the Blue Mountains NSW

[Carol Probets <>]

A few days ago, Eric Finley asked whether White-headed Pigeons are 
unusual at close to 1000m in the Blue Mountains. They are certainly 
more of a lower-altitude species here, but do sometimes occur in the 
upper mountains, e.g. Katoomba Falls, and Blackheath. They are one of 
those birds that appear to be increasing their range due to the 
abundance of fruit-bearing weed plants.
Cheers,

Carol
