Subject: [Birding-Aus] Amazing birding experiences - honeyeater migration
Carol, this makes more sense to me now because the first flocks of migrating honeyeaters I saw (at Lawson, approx. 15 kms east of Katoomba) were heading west. Then there seemed to be a shift northwards for a while, now they seem to be heading in both directions (I guess it just depends when you're looking out the window - some have been going south too - go figure!) I thought they would have started petering out by now - I'm going to miss them when they do. They like stopping off to feed in our Banksias (spinifolia, I think), so it would be nice to plant some more. While we're on flocks - this morning we saw flocks of 100 or so Feral Pigeons flying over Bullaburra and Lawson - they didn't seem to have any particular goal, just swooping around up high in fairly tight formations. Any idea what that's about? To unsubscribe from this mailing list, You must Sign in before you can post messages.
