Hi Tweeters,

With all of Dennis Paulson's Twitcher's postings from Australia, I
thought you might enjoy this puzzle from our Aussie twitcher friend
from Maroochydore.
First prize is a virtual trip to Clyde's deck where observing Aussie
birds is an unbelievable experience. I will post the correct answer
next week.
