Edge-tailed Eagle decline?

I have just driven Wentworth – Broken Hill – Adelaide. Between Wentworth & Broken Hill, I recorded one Wedge-tailed Eagle despite an enormous number of road kill (mostly kangaroo/wallaby plus a few emu and goat). In a 20km section towards the Broken Hill end I counted 165 road kill (I then stopped . . . → Read More: Wedge-tailed Eagle decline?

Checklist and species codes

Many years back Birds Australia used to publish (on their website) a checklist of species including reference numbers. These numbers included the latest official taxonomic codes and the codes used in the original Atlas. I can't currently find such a checklist on the BA site. Does it still exist somewhere (and if not, why . . . → Read More: Checklist and species codes
