Tim,

Thanks for your email and I'm unsure about my own self-worth - thanks for reassuring me - but whether I'm in such elevated company I'm unsure!
And, yeas, I have actually had a few positive responses o my email but will refine the list for future use...happy to take you off it.
And I've not seen any GHE's around Alice - but have (briefly on an windy day) at Kunoth Well and will look harder now at home at Yuendumu - 300km n-w of Alice - now that the good rains have bought a lot of birds back to the area.

You did ask for feedback Bob. 

 

You seem to have a very high impression of your own worth mate. Your email list is worthy of a major press release (such as 9/11, the death of Princess Diana, or confirmed nesting Night Parrot). I've never seen anything quite like it. (You forgot to email the BBC.) You need to ask yourself - does this amount to unwanted spam mail? (Sorry about that). Has anybody actually given you a positive response to this extrodianary email?

 

Quite aside from that, any good birds about at the moment. Someone was wondering if there's any Grey HE  in Alice.

 

All the best,

 

Tim Dolby

Subject: [Ethnoornithology] The Northern Myth - new posts on my Crikey blog!! 22 November 2008

Dear all,

Just a quick word to advise of the recent postings to my Crikey blog, The Northern Myth over the past week or so to today, 22 November 2008.

This week there is a focus on Ethnoornithology - Birds and Cultural Knowledge and Practice - in several of the posts but plenty of other items of interest to those familiar with The Northern Myth and the variety of issues that I try to get across.

To have a closer look go to: http://blogs.crikey.com.au/northern/

Recent postings at The Northern Myth include:

* Towards an (Australian) Indigenous Ornithology - Is Australia an ornithological terra nullius? a paper I gave at the Australasian ornithological Congress at Canberra, December 2003

* Birds of the week - two freed Wedge-tailed Eagles - relocating Alice and Acacia from their home at the Desertt Wildife Park in Alice Springs, NT

* The Sooty Shearwater (Puffinus griseus) - a lesson in indigenous bird hunting and conservation - one aspect of bird knowledge shared by New Zealand Moari and Australian Aboriginal peoples

* People doing really stupid things with animals…swimming with crocodiles and polar bears!

* White trash - and proud of it! - a story about racial hysteria

* Dogs of the Week - Camp Dogs on the Radio!! - links to an ABC Radio series on people and their dogs in central Australia

* The Northern Myth - Chapter 1 - a look at the first chapter of Bruce Davidson's 1965 book, The Northern Myth

Please don't forget to pass this email on to any of your friends that you think might appreciate it or might have a view to express.

And finally - please don't be shy - if you have a view...please express it!! It takes just a few seconds to register and then you can post to your heart's content!

I look forward to reading the new batch of comments from you all.

Cheers,

Bob Gosford
