Hi all,
Sorry to be a burden but I've just left W.A. with a swag of photos but I'm
not sure if I've captured a Baudin's black cockatoo. I photographed what I
believed was one in a mixed group. The birds were on the Kalgan River east
of Albany where mixed flocks occur. They flew into a large pine tree and
stayed until it began to rain heavily. (five minutes). There were the
typical drawn out "mareeeah" calls but I was initially alerted to them by a
call that was somewhat clipped.
If you could please look at the photo on the left side of the following site
and let me know if you think it is a male Carnaby or Baudin. The bill seems
quite long but typically when I tried to photograph this bird from different
angles its facial feathers covered the beak.

I'd really appreciate your help on this one (again).
Best wishes,
Gary Oliver
