   Hi all,
   It's a Superb Lyrebird, but I think you know that already.
   By the way, after 16 years of researching koalas I have never heard a
   koala do that call.  Female koalas do make some screech-type calls but
   their tone is quite different.
   Thanks Tom for uploading it!

   hi all,
   I've been trying in vain to send a message here for over an hour but
   such is internet reception in Cairns at times!!!
   I was about to say that it sounds somewhere between a Sooty & Masked
   Owl, but i'm with Greg & leaning more towards a Masked - I definitely
   don't think that it's a Koala at all, but definitely a Tyto owl...
   cheers,
   martin cachard,
   cairns

   Whilst driving to the summit of Mt Donna Buang near Warburton, Vic on
   Sunday 14 September I saw a bird making this call in response to a
   'Feral'
   cat, it becomes obvious what species it is near the end but (I think)
   it
   sounds remarkably similar to a 'Tyto' Owl. What do you think?
