For once north Queensland sightings preceded Sydney’s. We had the first three on September first.

I saw my first Channel-billed Cuckoos today. Three birds flying low over Forest Hills Road, Morayfield (northern suburb of Brisbane). All birds were silent. Jude

As they often fly in loose flocks perhaps it is just a contact call. BTW, my first record this season was a bird heard at Iron Range on the 5th of September. My first Yungaburra record was a bird heard on the 12th and then three seen and heard on the 15th. None since. My first record is usually well behind those of southern observers. This may be due to different migration routes. Phillip I have not changed the title as the communication of the thread is more important.

G’day Mike No, CBC call regularly during the breeding season in Australia. I don’t think the overwintering individuals are prone to calling, so was wondering about the purpose of the attention-drawing inflight calls at this time of year. Regards, Laurie.

G’day Laurie Do you ask that question because the CBC call (only) on migration flight. They certainly called when flying over PAU in PNG on their way to Australia. Cheers Mike On 16/09/2014, at 5:54 AM, Laurie Knight wrote:

In our case, in Engadine, yes. Heading south! The one on 8th Engadine had an entourage of angry birds. The second, on 15th, calling away, had no-one in pursuit. Neither stopped off. Brian — Brian Everingham PO Box 269 Engadine NSW 2233 Australia

My first Channel-billed Cuckoo for the season was seen on Friday the 12th September in Epping. It flew without calling into a Liquid Amber opposite my house & I became aware of it because of 20 Noisy Miners loudly complaining. After about 15 minutes the CBC flew off silently. If not for the NM chorus I would never have noticed it.

The joys of synchronicity. I saw one calling in flight with an arriving A380 in the background as I was riding through Greenslopes (one of the southern suburbs of Brisbane) at 6.24 am today. Actually, I’m not sure if CBCs are normally calling this time of year – do they do that when they are on their own and trying to find others, establishing a territory, or when they are nest raiding? Is it the case that the early bird gets the host? Regards, Laurie. On 15 Sep 2014, at 3:55 pm, Brian Everingham < brian.everingham@gmail.com> wrote:
