Abstract

Sixteen species of birds were seen on or near Curtis Island. Only four species
were found breeding. The avifauna of Curtis Island is compared with that of nearby
small islands in Bass Strait. A hypothesis is proposed to account for the number
of health/forest passerine species that breed on Curtis, Great Glennie, Rodondo,
Hogan, Long and Deal Islands.
