  • Studies on the Antifungal Agent Isolated from Solanum
    Bago University Research Journal, 2020, Vol. 10, No. 1 289 Land-cover types and distribution of bird species at Sabei and Kyesin copper mine area, Monywa District Khin Ma Ma Abstract Eleven land-cover types could be classified in and around the copper mine project area; creek, tailing pond, waste dump, mine pit area, secondary forest, human habitation, revegetation, shrub land, marsh grassland (wet land), leach pad and agriculture land. A total of 66 bird species of 38 families were recorded at the copper mine project area during the study period. Basically, two kinds of birds, terrestrial and aquatic bird species were recorded. Among the record species, Burmese Collared-dove Streptopelia xanthocycla, Ayarwaddy bulbul Pycnonotus blanfordi, Burmese bush lark Mirafra microptera, Burmese prinia Prinia cooki, Hooded treepie Crypsirina cucullata and White throated babbler Turdoides gularis were recorded as endemic species at the study area. Oriental darter Anhinga melanogaster and River Lapwing Vanellus duvaucelii were observed as near threaten species. The highest number of bird species was recorded in Yamar upstream, while the lowest number occurred in marsh grassland (wetland) area. Species diversity index value was highest (H′=1.49) in Yamar upstream area and followed by those of the Yamar downstram area (H′=1.36) and Khamauktaung area (H′=1.31). Keywords: diversity, endemic, migratory, habitat Introduction The study focuses on land-cover types and distribution of bird species at Sabei and Kyesin copper mine area. Birds respond any environmental change with either positively or negatively. Birds also occupy at the top of the food chain in various types of habitats.

Collared Falconet Tour Summary Beginning in the expansive, lowland city of Yangon (Rangoon), a few of us met up and took several short walks from our hotel to some nearby fields where we added a nice selection of common species to our list. These included Crested (Oriental) Honey Buzzard, Blue-tailed and Green Bee-eaters, Asian Palm Swift, stunning White- throated Kingfisher, Coppersmith Barbet, Brown Shrike, Black-naped Oriole, Jungle Myna, Streak- eared Bulbul, Scaly-breasted (Nutmeg) and White- rumped Munia, which were attracted to grasses alongside a small pool of water. It was here that we had good looks at a fairly showy Dusky Shwedagon Pagoda by Glen Valentine Warbler, a migrant from Siberia. After all of the participants met up, our international group of travelers from the USA, South Africa and Australia gathered together for lunch before heading out to the Royal Yacht Club. Here we started our birdlist in earnest adding several new species including Little Cormorant, Oriental Darter, Common Sandpiper, a male Asian Koel, Common and Jungle Mynas and three Black Kites, the latter our only sighting of the tour.
