Redwood Park

Since 1991, these magnificent birds have been annual visitors to Toowoomba and surrounds in fluctuating numbers and for varying lengths of time. The availability of fruiting White Cedar (Melia azerderach) dictate their local movements but how and to what extent is unclear.

Let's collectively get a better idea on their annual numbers, daily patterns of movement and local distribution. How far east do they venture each year? Do they ever reach Ipswich and Brisbane? Provide the date and time, number of birds, exact location, and what they were doing e.g. feeding in white cedar, roosting, flying east.

Four Red-tailed Blacks flying east over Redwood Park (bottom end) at 6.30am Saturday 21/3/09.

Surprisingly, haven't seen any around Murphy's Creek/Upper Lockyer since last month's club outing. Seem to have thinned out locally.
