Hello all! I just discovered this site while doing a search on the Channel-billed Cuckoo that's been flying about our backyard and surrounds, along with its adoptive mother an Australian Raven.
I filled in the survey for it.
We have a wide range of birds that live on or pass through our property, so it's never a dull moment around here. We moved here from Brisbane about two years ago, and WOW! what an eye-opener that was and continues to be. The bird species variety is enormous here compared to the city ( not surprisingly). As a result my partner and I have found ourselves to be birdwatchers.
Every year our backyard plays host to a pair of Tawny Frogmouths. We observe them nesting and raising their young. It's just magic.
By the way, is there a way of identifying the sex of young frogmouth's? ( I have to figure out how to post photos on this forum...)
Hi Danny
