Black Falcons

Post by Mick Atzeni »

Picked up a Black Falcon today at Goomeri.

Interesting how I hadn't seen one for months and now have had three separate sightings in the past fortnight - at Wilsonton, Upper Lockyer and Goomeri.

Cheers

A family member told me of seeing a pair of Black Falcons around my old birding haunt in south west Toowoomba during the second week of August. Must be a good time for them now. :)
