Males have a yellow bill and more prominent reddish casque while females have an all yellow bill and casque. SABAH MALAYSIA The presence of hornbills in the Kinabatangan area is an indication that the surrounding habitat is healthy. Hornbills need forests for nesting and food. Forests need hornbills for dispersal of seeds. And the local people need the forests for wood Wreathed hornbill (Rhyticeros undulatus): A large, primarily black hornbill products, clean water and clean air. They are all connected: whose tail is all white with no black at the base. Both sexes have a pale bill with a small casque and a dark streak/mark on the throat pouch. people, hornbills and forests! Eight different hornbill species occur in Borneo and all are found in Kinabatangan. All are protected from hunting and/or disturbance. By fostering an awareness and concern of their presence in this region, hornbill conservation will be ensured for future generations.

    SMITHSONIAN MISCELLANEOUS COLLECTIONS VOLUME 131, NUMBER 9 BREEDING AND OTHER HABITS OF CASQUED HORNBILLS (BYCANISTES SUBCYLINDRICUS) (With 6 Plates) By LAWRENCE KILHAM Bethesda, Md. (Publication 4259) CITY OF WASHINGTON PUBLISHED BY THE SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION NOVEMBER 8, 1956 THE LORD BALTIMORE PRESS, INC. BALTIMORE, MD., U. S. A. PREFACE I went to Uganda at the invitation of the East African High Com- mission to carry on virus research as a visiting scientist at the Virus Research Institute, Entebbe, where I worked from August 1954 until mid-May 1955. My ornithological observations were made as an ama- teur in the early mornings and evenings, and on weekends. It had been my hope to study some particular field problem in addition to making a general acquaintance with African bird life. The nature of the prob- lem was determined soon after my arrival. In my bird notes, black- and-white casqued hornbills [Bycanistes suhcylindricits (Sclater)] soon took up more pages than any other species. They came to our garden frequently. In addition, a pair of them roosted and carried on courtship activities in a tree above our house. When I discovered a concentration of hornbill nests in the Mpanga Research Forest, it was apparent that I had an unusual opportunity to study the natural history of casqued hornbills. Present studies did not begin until many females were already walled in. A few pairs of late-nesting hornbills, however, enabled me to witness the beginning stages of nesting ac- tivity. Observations on 16 nesting pairs gave, in the aggregate, a rounded picture of breeding and other habits of these birds.

Oromia is the largest National Regional State of Ethiopia. Here we present the first comprehensive checklist of its birds. A total of 804 bird species has been recorded, 601 of them confirmed (443) or assumed (158) to be breeding birds. At least 561 are all-year residents (and 31 more potentially so), at least 73 are Afrotropical migrants and visitors (and 44 more potentially so), and 184 are Palaearctic migrants and visitors (and eight more potentially so). Three species are endemic to Oromia, 18 to Ethiopia and 43 to the Horn of Africa. 170 Oromia bird species are biome restricted: 57 to the Afrotropical Highlands biome, 95 to the Somali-Masai biome, and 18 to the Sudan-Guinea Savanna biome.

This is not far from the truth. The diverse natural habitats combined with a tourist-friendly atmosphere and well-maintained road network make Ghana a real birder’s paradise. A visit to the World Heritage Site of Cape Coast Castle and understanding its controversial history was a powerful experience. The rainforest areas near Kakum National Park and vast savannas of Mole National Park were certainly highlights of this extraordinary tour. We tallied over 400 species of birds and over 20 mammals. These included highly sought- after gems like White-necked Rockfowl, Egyptian Plover, Blue-moustached Bee-eater, Akun Eagle-Owl, Stone Partridge, White- spotted Flufftail, Yellow-billed Turaco, Red- billed Dwarf Hornbill and many, many more. _____________________________________ The Tour in Detail Our first bird in Ghana was a fabulously performing Yellow-crowned Gonolek seen from the breakfast table – not a bad start! We spent the morning in Shai hills, which is Violet Turaco by Tuomas Seimola located north-east of the capital, Accra.

Observations on Rufous-necked Aceros nipalensis and Austen’s Brown Anorrhinus austeni Hornbills in Arunachal Pradesh: natural history, conservation status, and threats. Indian Birds 5 (4): 108–117. Aparajita Datta, Nature Conservation Foundation, 3076/5, 4th Cross, Gokulam Park, Mysore 570002, Karnataka, India. Email: [email protected]. In 1997–1998, Ravi Sankaran had spent three months studying the most interesting, and intriguing, hornbill species found in India, with the smallest global range—the Narcondam Hornbill Aceros narcondami—restricted to a 6 km2 island of the Andaman Islands archipelago. While others before him had spent time on the island and made observations, his were the first systematic and meticulously collected data of a study carried out throughout the breeding season, on a large number of nests. Unfortunately, he never wrote up the work as a publication, but he put his research to good use for conservation action and managed to get the goats that were affecting the regeneration of many hornbill food plants, removed from the island. My paper, in this memorial issue, is about my limited observations on two of the lesser-known, and threatened hornbills of north-eastern India. Abstract Among the five species of hornbills that occur in north-eastern India, the least studied are the endangered Rufous-necked Hornbill Aceros nipalensis, and the Brown Hornbill Anorrhinus austeni1, which has a restricted distribution in India. Based on field surveys conducted in Namdapha National Park, and several forest divisions in eastern Arunachal Pradesh, during 1996–1999 and 2002–2004, I present information on their distribution and relative abundance.

Bernardo Jr. www.apjmr.com College of Arts and Sciences, Western Philippines University, CHED Recognized Journal Aborlan, Palawan, Philippines ASEAN Citation Index [email protected] Date Received: August 3, 2018; Date Revised: February 8, 2019 Abstract -The uses of bioacoustics in biological applications are getting popular in research communities. Among such application is the use of sound recordings in avifaunal researches. This research explored the possibility of using the sound recording in the assessment of forest birds in Palawan by comparing it in widely used Point Count Method (PCM). To compare the two methods, a simultaneous point count and sound recording surveys from February to November 2017 in the forested slopes of Victoria-Anipahan Mountain in Aborlan, Palawan were conducted. The Sound Recording Method (SRM) listed slightly lower species richness than the PCM, but the difference in the mean number of species was not significant (F1,49=1.05, p > 0.05). The SRM was found to be biased towards noisy and loud calling bird species but it failed to detect the silent and rarely calling species. SRM was also equally sensitive as compared to PCM in detecting endemic and high conservation priority species. Because of these, it was recognized that SRM could be used as one of the alternative methods in forest bird assessment particularly if the concern is avifaunal species richness.

  • Project Update: July 2010 Sixty Percent of Asia's Forests Are Under High Or Moderate Threat
    Project Update: July 2010 Sixty percent of Asia’s forests are under high or moderate threat (Bryant et al., 1997). The main threats for forest loss and degradation are logging, habitat conversion, wildfires, fuel wood collection, overgrazing and plantations. The fundamental triggers behind these activities are probably, increasing human populations, roads penetrating deeper and deeper into the forests and weak economies of respective countries. However, the relative impacts of these factors are still unclear and less apparent. Amongst the causes listed above, logging alone affects a large area of forested tracts in Asia. Logging directly results in change in the structure and composition of forests, in modification of microhabitats and it affects wildlife populations differentially. Responses of different taxa and species within taxa vary to differential pressures of logging. Another serious threat to wildlife populations is hunting. Hunting is widespread across various areas of South and South-east Asia (Bennett et al., 1997; Kinnaird and O'Brien, 2007; Milner-Gulland et al., 2003; Robinson and Bennett, 2000). Rural tribal communities hunt for various reasons from meeting dietary needs and protein requirements, to hunting specific species for valuable, culturally significant, or medicinally important body parts. Asian hornbills are a group of large birds, which are restricted to the tropical forests of South and South-east Asia. There are 31 species of hornbills. Hornbills face severe threats from both logging and hunting. Unlike many other hole-nesting birds, hornbills are secondary cavity-nesters, which mean they cannot make their own cavity. They require large cavities on tall emergent large trees especially because the female incarcerates herself in the nest during the breeding season.

  • Fruit Preferences of Malabar Pied Hornbill Anthracoceros Coronatus in Western Ghats, India
    Bird Conservation International (2004) 14:S69–S79. BirdLife International 2004 doi:10.1017/S0959270905000249 Printed in the United Kingdom Fruit preferences of Malabar Pied Hornbill Anthracoceros coronatus in Western Ghats, India P. BALASUBRAMANIAN, R. SARAVANAN and B. MAHESWARAN Summary Food habits of Malabar Pied Hornbill Anthracoceros coronatus were studied from December 2000 to December 2001, in the Athikadavu valley, Western Ghats, India. A total of 147 individuals belonging to 18 fleshy-fruited tree species were monitored fortnightly. Thirteen fruit species, including five figs and eight non-figs, were recorded in the birds’ diet. The overall number of tree species in fruit and fruiting individuals increased with the onset of summer, the Malabar Pied Hornbill’s breeding season. The peak in fruiting is attributed to the peak in fruiting by figs. Figs formed the top three preferred food species throughout the year. During the non-breeding period (May to February), 60% of the diet was figs. During the peak breeding period (March and April), two nests were monitored for 150 hours. Ninety-eight per cent of food deliveries to nest inmates were fruits belong- ing to six species. Most fruits delivered at the nests constituted figs (75.6%). In addition, figs sustained hornbills during the lean season and should be considered “keystone species” in the riverine forest ecosystem. Two non-fig species are also important. Habitat features and local threats at Athikadavu valley were assessed. The distribution and conservation status of Malabar Pied Hornbill in the Western Ghats was reviewed. Conser- vation of hornbill habitats, particularly the lowland riparian vegetation, is imperative.
