Some suggestions from Steve Debus Regards Shirley —– Original Message —– From: “Steve Debus” < sdebus@une.edu.au> To: “Shirley Cook” < shirleycook@skymesh.com.au> Sent: Wednesday, October 28, 2015 7:44 AM Subject: RE: [Birding-Aus] Mystery calls from Bowra Station, Queensland Hi Shirley, 1) is a typical Brown Falcon. The others I’m not 100% sure about, as it’s too long since I’ve been out in the Mulga (and never at Bowra), and I either need to follow up unfamiliar calls with sightings or I need field context (e.g. partly because passerine calls can vary geographically). 2) could be parrot chatter, e.g. Blue Bonnet or Ringneck. 3) reminds me of Spotted Quail-thrush song, but it would be a different quail-thrush species out there (Chestnut-breasted?). 4) not sure, possibly Grey-headed Honeyeater? (Too long since I’ve heard them.) Comparison with the BOCA CD might help. I’m sure others familiar with Bowra could name these calls.
