Birdpedia – Australia – Weekly Digest

The following is a digest of Sightings Reported on Birdpedia for the period Monday, March 18, 2019 to Sunday, March 24, 2019:

Area: SA

Location: On our Rockleigh property

Mistletoebird (Dicaeum hirundinaceum) (3) This is only the 3rd or 4th time we have seen a mistletoebird on our property over 10 years – last seen 3 years ago. An Acacia retinodes by the gate is being killed by the drought and by at least 20 clumps of the mistletoe Amyema preissei, which is covered in luscious white berries (luscious to mistletoebirds, I mean). There were 2 males and at least 1 female having a feast.

Restless Flycatcher (Myiagra inquieta) (1) The restless flycatcher is another infrequent visitor. Last time we saw it was September 2016. Anyway, it spent the whole day flying between trees in the creek line, which are still nice and green even thought the creek is dry as a bone.
