Searching for Koels

[Virginia Abernathy <>]

Dear fellow birders,

I am a new PhD student studying the Pacific Koel under Naomi Langmore  
at the Australian National University. I am mainly focusing on the  
hosts of the koel (the Red Wattlebird, the Noisy Friarbird, and the  
Magpie-lark), but I am also interested in finding parasitised nests,  
if possible. This past field season I have been stationed in Canberra  
and have been performing egg recognition experiments on the above  
hosts. For my next field season I plan to come to the Sydney area and  
repeat these experiments on the same hosts. I am trying to figure out  
a good field site to focus on (preferably a national park or something  
similar) where I can find most of these hosts and the koel. Does  
anyone know of a good location/s where koels and wattlebirds are found  
together?
Cheers,
Virginia
