Peelamuk
The afternoon trip took us up one of the hills by Albany, where the windfarm is sited. We didn't actually see any birds (at least not photographable ones) but the path up to the cliff top had quite a few of these plaques, this one showing an Australian Pelican.

Mogorro appears to mean the period of mid winter, which June and July is, of course. The information board for it says:

In the middle of winter Pelicans and Black Swans begin moulting and for several weeks cannot fly. In this condition they are fairly easy to catch putting "peelamuk" (presumably the Aboriginal for pelican) on the menu more frequently than at other times of the year.

I précised it a bit.
