Hi David, Well done with the Aust Bird List. I have to confess, that just now 
is the first time that I've had a really good look at it. I have now downloaded 
it, put in my records, & have let it do all the sums for me.  But, I am still 8 
spp short for my 700th !! I have had a good look at HANZAB, C&B 2008, etc but I 
am still none the wiser on a few things, & I have a couple of questions for you 
that are a result of new developments that don't seem to be covered in these 
references... I am not sure about the 2 Emerald Doves & the 2 Eudynamys Koels 
listed, so far as which spp occurs where ...I have seen the doves in NW Aust, E 
Aust & Lord Howe Is  - have I seen both??I have seen Koels throughout mainland 
Aust also - which is it that I have seen?? The rest of the new arrangement I 
could work out, but these stumped me!! Thanks in advance for your 
clarifications, Martin Cachard,Cairns,0428 782 808
