Hi Folks,
We have a pair of Pied Imperial Pigeon nesting in Geraghty Park,
adjacent to Kingfisher Park BL, Far North Queensland, which is quite
unusual so far inland (nearly 20km from the coast) and at 450m ASL. We
cannot find any information about inland breeding and local birders
don't know of any records. HANZAB does not have any records but this
volume is a few years old now. The birds finished the nest last week and
are now sitting. Up until last year it was very unusual to see PIPs here
in Julatten at all but last year we had an influx of day visitors and a
few staying around. This year we have only seen a few. Interestingly
Phil at Cassowary House in Kuranda which is only 7.5km from the coast
has never seen PIPS at his place. Does anyone know of any inland and
altitudinal records?
Regards,
Keith & Lindsay.
