Hi again,
Well, this is my thrid (and hopefully) last request for info. After Darwin I
plan on driving down to the Alice Springs area. The main reason for this part
is just to see Ayers Rock, but of course there are some birds I want to pick up
too. Once again, i've gotten a decent amount of infomoration from the archeives
and websites already, but I just wanted some updated info. Has the Alice
Springs area gotten much rain recently? It seems like all the reports from
earlier this year talk about how dry it was. Also, how is birding this area
during the summer? There doesn't seem to be much info on it. Any updated info
on the follow species would be helpful:
Hopefully i'll be in Alice Springs Jan 10-13 and then the drive back through SA
from 14-17.
Australian Dotterel- not as much around the Alice Springs area, but is there
anywhere I could find this species?
Spinifex Pigeon
Bourkes Parrot
Black-eared Cuckoo
Spinifexbird
RC Emu-Wren
Dusky Grasswren
Striated Grasswren
Redthroat
Chiming Wedgebill
SB Thornbill
Banded Whiteface
Grey Honeyeater
Ornage Chat
Cimmamon Quail Thrush
Chestnut Quail Thrush
Western Bowerbird.
Also, I think I am going to head back towards the Gold Coast via South
Australia. (Colber's Pedy, Port Augusta, Broken Hill). I will mainly just be
driving straight through, but are there any good birding spots that are close
to this route that would be good to stop at? Truthfully I haven't even looked
into what all is a possibility along this route. Maybe a good spot for ducks?
Or species like Scarlet-chested Parrot, Churriping Wedgebill, Shy Heathwren,
Rufous Fieldwren, or Purple-gaped Honeyeater?
Once again thanks for any help people can give me,
Ross Gallardy
