  • Recommended Band Size List Page 1
    Jun 00 Australian Bird and Bat Banding Scheme - Recommended Band Size List Page 1 Australian Bird and Bat Banding Scheme Recommended Band Size List - Birds of Australia and its Territories Number 24 - May 2000 This list contains all extant bird species which have been recorded for Australia and its Territories, including Antarctica, Norfolk Island, Christmas Island and Cocos and Keeling Islands, with their respective RAOU numbers and band sizes as recommended by the Australian Bird and Bat Banding Scheme. The list is in two parts: Part 1 is in taxonomic order, based on information in "The Taxonomy and Species of Birds of Australia and its Territories" (1994) by Leslie Christidis and Walter E. Boles, RAOU Monograph 2, RAOU, Melbourne, for non-passerines; and “The Directory of Australian Birds: Passerines” (1999) by R. Schodde and I.J. Mason, CSIRO Publishing, Collingwood, for passerines. Part 2 is in alphabetic order of common names. The lists include sub-species where these are listed on the Census of Australian Vertebrate Species (CAVS version 8.1, 1994). CHOOSING THE CORRECT BAND Selecting the appropriate band to use combines several factors, including the species to be banded, variability within the species, growth characteristics of the species, and band design. The following list recommends band sizes and metals based on reports from banders, compiled over the life of the ABBBS. For most species, the recommended sizes have been used on substantial numbers of birds. For some species, relatively few individuals have been banded and the size is listed with a question mark. In still other species, too few birds have been banded to justify a size recommendation and none is made.

    Field Guides Tour Report Australia Part 2 2019 Oct 22, 2019 to Nov 11, 2019 John Coons & Doug Gochfeld For our tour description, itinerary, past triplists, dates, fees, and more, please VISIT OUR TOUR PAGE. Water is a precious resource in the Australian deserts, so watering holes like this one near Georgetown are incredible places for concentrating wildlife. Two of our most bird diverse excursions were on our mornings in this region. Photo by guide Doug Gochfeld. Australia. A voyage to the land of Oz is guaranteed to be filled with novelty and wonder, regardless of whether we’ve been to the country previously. This was true for our group this year, with everyone coming away awed and excited by any number of a litany of great experiences, whether they had already been in the country for three weeks or were beginning their Aussie journey in Darwin. Given the far-flung locales we visit, this itinerary often provides the full spectrum of weather, and this year that was true to the extreme. The drought which had gripped much of Australia for months on end was still in full effect upon our arrival at Darwin in the steamy Top End, and Georgetown was equally hot, though about as dry as Darwin was humid. The warmth persisted along the Queensland coast in Cairns, while weather on the Atherton Tablelands and at Lamington National Park was mild and quite pleasant, a prelude to the pendulum swinging the other way. During our final hours below O’Reilly’s, a system came through bringing with it strong winds (and a brush fire warning that unfortunately turned out all too prescient).

  • Darwin and Northern Territory (06/22/2019 – 07/06/2019) – Birding Report
    Darwin and Northern Territory (06/22/2019 – 07/06/2019) – Birding Report Participants: Corey Callaghan and Diane Callaghan Email: [email protected] Overview: At an Australasian Ornithological Conference in Geelong, November 2017, they announced that the next conference would be in Darwin in 2019. I immediately booked it in the calendar that that is when I would do the typical Darwin birding trip. Diane was on board, and so we decided to do a solid birding trip before the conference in early July. There are some tricky ‘must-get’ birds here, and overall we did pretty well. We ended with 198 species for the trip, and got pretty much all the critical top end birds. Didn’t get any of the mangrove specialties (e.g., whistlers, and fantail), but I was still pleased with how we did. Highlights included all the finches that we saw, and the great spread of waterbirds. Chestnut Rail was also a highlight. When I went to the conference, I dropped Diane off to go hiking at Litchfield National Park, but before that we did a 10 day trip, driving out to Timber Creek and then back. Read below for day- by-day highlights, some photos, and various birding locations. Any hyperlinks should take you to the associated location and/or eBird checklists, which would provide precise coordinates and sometimes more detailed location notes. *Note: I follow the eBird/clements taxonomy, which differs in bird names from IOC. Blue-faced Honeyeater Day 1 (June 22nd, 2019): Flight from Sydney to Darwin We had an early flight from Sydney and got into Darwin at about 2:00 PM.

  • West Papua Expedition
    The fabulous Spangled Kookaburra was one of the many highlights (Mark Van Beirs) WEST PAPUA EXPEDITION 22/28 OCTOBER – 10 NOVEMBER 2019 LEADER: MARK VAN BEIRS 1 BirdQuest Tour Report: West Papua Expedition www.birdquest-tours.com The cracking Kofiau Paradise Kingfisher posed ever so well (Mark Van Beirs) This unusual trip was set up to fill in some of the remaining gaps in the Birdquest New Guinea lifelist, so the plan was to visit several hard to reach venues in West Papua. The pre-trip was aiming to climb to the top of 2 BirdQuest Tour Report: West Papua Expedition www.birdquest-tours.com Mount Trikora in the Snow Mountains, but because of recent rioting and civil unrest (whereby several dozen people had been killed), access to the town of Wamena was totally denied to foreign visitors by the authorities. So, sadly, no Snow Mountain Robin… We did manage to visit the famous Wasur National Park, which produced the fantastic Spangled Kookaburra and Grey-crowned and Black Mannikins (all Birdquest lifers) and we reached the island of Kofiau, where the fabulous Kofiau Paradise Kingfisher and the modestly- plumaged Kofiau Monarch (two more Birdquest lifers) showed extremely well. The fabulous lowland rainforest site of Malagufuk gave us a long list of exquisite species amongst which a truly impressive Northern Cassowary, a cute Wallace’s Owlet-nightjar, a sublime Papuan Hawk-Owl and a tremendous Red- breasted Paradise Kingfisher stood out. Kingfishers especially performed extremely well on this tour as we saw no fewer than 15 species, including marvels like Hook-billed, Common Paradise, Blue-black, Beach, Yellow-billed and Papuan Dwarf Kingfishers and Blue-winged and Rufous-bellied Kookaburras.

  • Mixed Honeyeater Flocks in Northern Queensland
    AUSTRALIAN 260 BIRD WATCHER AUSTRALIAN BIRD WATCHER I994, IS, 260-264 Mixed Honeyeater Flocks in Northern Queensland by BRYAN SAGE, Waveney House, Waveney Close, Wells-next-the-Sea, Norfolk NR23 lHU, England Summary Mixed-species flocks of honeyeaters (Meliphagidae) were observed at two sites in northern Queensland in June 1992. The first record concerned six species of six different genera in the Gregory River area, and the second ten species from seven different genera on Cape York Peninsula. The first record of Yellow-throated Miner Manorina jlavigula for Cape York Peninsula is presented. Introduction In June 1992 mixed-species flocks of honeyeaters were encountered at two localities in northern Queensland, and a few aspects of these observations warrant comment. The first record was on 9 June near the Gregory River just to the east of Lawn Hill National Park (18 °45 'S, 138 ~3 'E), and the second was on 16 June on Artemis Station south of Coen (13 o57 'S, 143 o12 'E) on Cape York Peninsula. The Gregory River Site The habitat here was open eucalypt woodland dominated by Silver Box Eucalyptus pruinosa on open spear grass flats (probably Variable Spear Grass Stipa drummondii). A flock of 40-45 honeyeaters of six species in six different genera was watched working through the woodland and evidently feeding primarily on invertebrates rather than nectar, and about 25 of these were Banded Honeyeaters Certhionyx pectoralis. Other species in this mixed flock comprised Yellow-tinted Honeyeater Lichenostomus flavescens, Brown Honeyeater Lichmera indistincta, Golden-backed race of the Black­ chinned Honeyeater Melithreptus gularis laetior (3+), Rufous-throated Honeyeater Conopophila rufogularis (only 2 seen), and Little Friarbird Philemon citreogularis (2 +).
