Barn Owl and others
Thirty species here, mostly common birds that we've been seeing all year. The Barn Owl was back on his preferred vantage point along the Murphys Creek Rd—the letterbox at the Howmans Rd turnoff.

Cut my teeth in Redwood and spent lots of time in there in the '80s. Some of the records are heard only.

Spring arrivals
My first Channel-billed Cuckoo and Dollarbird for season on Saturday 4th and Sunday 5th, respectively. Both were additions to the yard list too, which is ticking along nicely—70 spp in a couple of months since the move to Murphys Creek in August.
