  • Australia July 17-Aug 6, 2014
    AUSTRALIA JULY 17-AUG 6, 2014 Joe Morlan and I decided to revisit Australia since we had such a wonderful trip in 2005. We arrived on July 17, rented a car and drove to the Penrith area, North West of Sydney. We spent two nights at Napean River Holiday Village. The morning of the 18th we spent birding Emu Green, a lovely, quiet park along the Napean River. All of our birding lists are available on eBird. Joe’s photos are online here. Highlights were a flock of about 20 Bell Miners, what the Aussies call “bellbirds.” We were delighted by a gorgeous Golden Whistler, a Mistletoebird, New Holland Honeyeaters and White-faced and Pacific Herons. That afternoon we visited Napean Weir Park, seeing Maned and Pacific Black Ducks, the usual water birds, an Olive-backed Oriole and two fairly tame Laughing Kookaburras being harassed by Noisy Miners among other common species. On July 19 we drove west to Echo Point in the Blue Mountains but the wind was howling and it was freezing. We only spent an hour and then returned to Sydney Airport for our evening flight to Melbourne. We stayed that night in a Best Western near the airport. Sunday, July 20 Joe found an eBird hotspot nearby called Mill Park Lakes. We took advantage of a nearby McDonald’s for a quick breakfast and free internet. Throughout the trip we relied on McDonald’s for WIFI. At the park it was easy for Joe to digiscope Purple Swamphen, Pink-eared, Blue-billed and Freckled Ducks. Red Wattlebirds were new for us as was White-plumed Honeyeater.
