After a great trip to Bowra station a couple of weeks ago, I've reviewed
most of the audio from many hours of remote recording and have a few
calls I haven't been able to identify. Would be helpful if someone
familiar with these calls could help with ID.
They have been uploaded to xeno-canto.org & the links to the sounds are
as follows:
1) XC287109 - http://www.xeno-canto.org/287109
Recorded in sparse, stony hard mulga country - cackling call perhaps
from a raptor. Brown Falcon seen in the area, but Black & Grey also
known from this site.
2) XC287108 - http://www.xeno-canto.org/287108
Willie Wagtail song interferes with first phrase, but the second phrase
is clearer and I've no idea what this one is. Recorded in mixed mulga
country near a dried creek bed.
3) XC287107 - http://www.xeno-canto.org/287107
The repetitive whistle is the call in question here. A common sound
heard most days of our visit. My first guess was either Spiny-cheeked or
Singing Honeyeater, but never got to see birds making this call. Rufous
Whistler was the only other suspect I had, but I've never heard this
species make this call in coastal populations which I am more familiar
with. Mixed mulga country near a dried creek bed.
4) XC287106 - http://www.xeno-canto.org/287106
Repetitive whistle, different to the previous one. Mixed mulga country
near a dried creek bed.

Any comments would be appreciated.
Thanks
