THE USEFUL BIRDS 



I met during the same week with a second specimen of this 

 bird with phenomenal voice, but only on those two occasions 

 have I heard the strong, sweet, clear, and regular series of 

 running notes. 



Grey-tailed Thickhead. 



Judging from specimens seen in June and July, it is a 

 winter resident of the southern portions of S.E. Australia. 



The Western Australian representative, and very near of 

 kin, is P. occidentalism the Western Thickhead.
