**EASTERN KOEL
Eudynamys orientalis
Range
Padaido Islands (
Mayr 1941
).
Status
Resident
or austral migrant?
Widespread
austral migrant to
southern New
Guinea.
Just
two records from the
Padaido Islands
in the south-east of the study area: an undated record in
Mayr (1941)
, and one heard on
Owi
on
13 January 1994
(
P. Gregory
in litt
. 2000).
The
date of the latter record suggests it was more likely to have been resident
E. o. rufiventer
rather than the austral migrant
E. o. subcyanocephalus
which should be in
Australia
at this season.
