Don't know about the rest of you, but I've found Eastern Spinebills pretty scarce this season, particularly around home (Rangeville area). If you're not seeing them , you often hear them, but that hasn't been the case.
Anyway, have had a spinebill visit my yard the past two days, which is as good a reason as any to remind everyone we're interested in establishing how long migrants species are in our area. Now that Spring is approaching, let's kick off the Winter 2007 DDD's (departure date determinations!!).
If you can better today's date (2/8/07) for an Eastern Spinebill, please post the details.
Let's also do DDD's for Rose Robin, Red-capped Robin, Western Gerygone and Golden Whistler.
And because they've turned up this winter and been the focus of a lot of attention, let's include two others - Spiny-cheeked Honeyeater & White-plumed Honeyeater.
Any others you want to track?
