Birdline
Central & Southern Queensland
Birdline Central & Southern Queensland is a site for the reporting of rare or unusual birds outside their normal range, unusually high or low numbers, early or late arrivals or departures for migrant species and interesting behaviour or unusual habitat usage. The BSCQ region covers a large area from south of Ayr to the New South Wales Border and west to the Northern Territory border.

The Moderators have adopted a 2 tier sightings system. All legitimate reports will be published,with some sightings which the Moderators consider to be unusual for rarity, distribution or timing being published as 'Highlights' on this page. The following link will appear after sighting submissions which contains information about the species of interest plus the Unusual Record Report Form to be completed and submitted for relevant sightings: http://www.tonypalliser.com/barc.
Reports that do not meet the reporting criteria will not be published and we encourage all individuals to submit lists to ensure their sightings are included. We encourage any one with a long list of species to enter them into eBird Australia.
The Atlas and list entry components of Eremaea Birds moved to a new site called eBird Australia on 1st February 2014. Birdlines will remain here. In the meantime for entering all your lists register with eBird at www.ebird.org.

| Thu 1 | | Major Mitchell's Cockatoo
47 Potters Road, Maryvale, 4370 QLD |
|
| Solo female. Appeared roughly the same time last year with Sulphur Crested Cockatoos, this year near Galahs but not flying with them. First saw it this year 01/04/2021 and again today. I have more photos. My brother in law said there used to be a few pairs near the eight mile area years ago but I thought they shouldn't be this far east. |

Miles, Queensland |

| Bird was sitting in the middle of a bitumen road. I was unsure what it was but collected it and let it rest for a little while inside. I tried it again outside in a safe place an hour later and it flew away. I have been informed it was a juvenile red tailed or white tailed tropicbird. Possible blown inland in storms previous couple of days. I was encouraged to report the sighting. |
