	Boobook: Volume 19 - 1
		One of the Moreporks paired with the female Boobook, and, after an unsuccessful breeding attempt in 1988, a brood of two hybrids, both females, was raised in 1989.
		Census checks failed to find the original Boobook after 1995, and as she was then at least 10 years old - and probably considerably older - it seems likely that she has died.
		Consideration was given to the recapture of the Morepork, her mate, but, in view of the lack of available males, that was not done and, in 1996, he mated with a female from the 1994 brood, one of his granddaughters, and reared two young.

	Sophie Lacaze - Composer - Voices of Australia note
		The work is dedicated to Ivan Bellocq, who premiered it in Septembre 2002 in Saint Cloud (France) for the Biennale des Arts.
		"Voices of Australia" consists of a part with voices which have been recorded during the New Year Eve in the bush in South Australia, and a part for flute solo which imitates the songs of six Australian birds : Brolga, Crested Bellbird, Southern Boobook, Chiming Wedgebill, Fan-tailed Cuckoo et Whip Bird.
		At the beginning of the work, human beings and birds succeed in talking to each other, but voices take more and more space in the sound set-up and will progressively make the flute disappear.
