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 to all who have responded so far with suggestions on the mystery calls. I’ll wait for a few days then post a summary of the comments. If someone could forward to me Steve Debus’ suggestions that would be great as I didn’t seem them come up on the Birding Aus archives.
