In the Orange district, no autumn migration occurred, we still have 
Yellow-faced Honeyeaters present in smaller then usual numbers, but no 
influx as has occurred in previous years.No large flocks moving through during 
April/May. 
I'm inclined to think it has something to do with a combination of a warmer 
autumn and now winter. There was a short flowering season of Mugga Ironbark 
and White Box on the west slopes, but was not particularly attractive to 
honeyeaters, except in a few locations. I've notice this before, the trees 
seem to be flowering, but no nectar flow. Possibly a sign of a drought?

Good Birding
