2014 yearlists part 2

yes, last fall's birds are turning up at the feeder. Not yet the cardinals although they have been around all summer.

253 Hume's Leaf Warbler

A bit hidden by the autumn leaves in this pic, unfortunately

Resin

pretty little guy any warblers here have left for the south. Female cardinal finally showed up under the feeder. she doesn't count since she was here last winter.

254 Isabelline Wheatear

A major rarity from central Asia, turned up just 50 km down the road. Very confiding, too!

Resin

Sorry, Resin, I'm confused. Two countries divided by a common language, perhaps?
What exactly did Isabelline confide to you? Or are you at liberty to say?

Wow secret messages. How fortunate for it to be so close. Great spotting it.

A week in Mitchell River National Park added three special birds
139 Rainbow Bee-eater
140 Rufous Songlark
141 Dollarbird
and the next day a visit to Heyfield Wetlands added
142 Buff-banded Rail
and going on to Lake Glenmaggie, an extreme rarity in Victoria
143 Koel
Here are pictures of 4 of them, but the Dollarbird was rather far off. The pictures are
1. Dollarbird
2. Dollarbird (from 200 metres)
3. Rufous Songlark
4. Rainbow Bee-eater
5. Buff-banded Rail (through long grass)
