    Field Guides Tour Report Taiwan 2020 Feb 1, 2020 to Feb 12, 2020 Phil Gregory & local guide Arco Huang For our tour description, itinerary, past triplists, dates, fees, and more, please VISIT OUR TOUR PAGE. This gorgeous male Swinhoe's Pheasant was one of the birds of the trip! We found a pair of these lovely endemic pheasants at Dasyueshan. Photo by guide Phil Gregory. This was a first run for the newly reactivated Taiwan tour (which we last ran in 2006), with a new local organizer who proved very good and enthusiastic, and knew the best local sites to visit. The weather was remarkably kind to us and we had no significant daytime rain, somewhat to my surprise, whilst temperatures were pretty reasonable even in the mountains- though it was cold at night at Dasyueshan where the unheated hotel was a bit of a shock, but in a great birding spot, so overall it was bearable. Fog on the heights of Hohuanshan was a shame but at least the mid and lower levels stayed clear. Otherwise the lowland sites were all good despite it being very windy at Hengchun in the far south. Arco and I decided to use a varied assortment of local eating places with primarily local menus, and much to my amazement I found myself enjoying noodle dishes. The food was a highlight in fact, as it was varied, often delicious and best of all served quickly whilst being both hot and fresh. A nice adjunct to the trip, and avoided losing lots of time with elaborate meals.

  • Disaggregation of Bird Families Listed on Cms Appendix Ii
    Convention on the Conservation of Migratory Species of Wild Animals 2nd Meeting of the Sessional Committee of the CMS Scientific Council (ScC-SC2) Bonn, Germany, 10 – 14 July 2017 UNEP/CMS/ScC-SC2/Inf.3 DISAGGREGATION OF BIRD FAMILIES LISTED ON CMS APPENDIX II (Prepared by the Appointed Councillors for Birds) Summary: The first meeting of the Sessional Committee of the Scientific Council identified the adoption of a new standard reference for avian taxonomy as an opportunity to disaggregate the higher-level taxa listed on Appendix II and to identify those that are considered to be migratory species and that have an unfavourable conservation status. The current paper presents an initial analysis of the higher-level disaggregation using the Handbook of the Birds of the World/BirdLife International Illustrated Checklist of the Birds of the World Volumes 1 and 2 taxonomy, and identifies the challenges in completing the analysis to identify all of the migratory species and the corresponding Range States. The document has been prepared by the COP Appointed Scientific Councilors for Birds. This is a supplementary paper to COP document UNEP/CMS/COP12/Doc.25.3 on Taxonomy and Nomenclature UNEP/CMS/ScC-Sc2/Inf.3 DISAGGREGATION OF BIRD FAMILIES LISTED ON CMS APPENDIX II 1. Through Resolution 11.19, the Conference of Parties adopted as the standard reference for bird taxonomy and nomenclature for Non-Passerine species the Handbook of the Birds of the World/BirdLife International Illustrated Checklist of the Birds of the World, Volume 1: Non-Passerines, by Josep del Hoyo and Nigel J. Collar (2014); 2.

All of these birds were selected for their spectacular appearance. The “Cool” birds refer to birds that have been requested by Songbird ReMix users (such as the Hyacinth Macaw, American Redstart and Red-eyed Vireo) or that are personal favorites of the author (American Bushtit, Wrentit and Song Sparrow).

    TAIWAN BIRDING EXTRAVAGANZA 02 – 13 MAY 2022 01 – 12 MAY 2023 29 APRIL – 10 MAY 2024 Mikado Pheasant (photo Chun Hsien Huang) is one of the endemic species we search for on this trip. www.birdingecotours.com [email protected] 2 | ITINERARY Taiwan Birding Extravaganza Taiwan not only has great avifauna but also a host of other winning points that make it a wonderful destination for a comfortable birding trip. With 27 endemics, many endemic subspecies that could be split, and all its migrants and widespread Asian birds because of Taiwan’s position on the East Asian-Australasian Flyway there’s stacks to look forward to. Taiwan is located 100 kilometers/62 miles east of the coast of China, south of Japan and Korea, and north of the Philippines. Less than 400 kilometers/248 miles long and 150 kilometers/93 miles wide, with rugged central mountains and deep valleys, it boasts a very high biodiversity – in a very manageable package. This tour focuses on the endemics and other East Asian specialties in Taiwan’s well-protected forests. Most of our time will be spent in the mountains, but we will also allow some time in the lowlands and at the coast, looking for wetland birds. Orchid Island (Lanyu) has several interesting birds. When circumstances allow we will leave time for other aspects of nature, for the fascinating human culture, and for chasing any reported notable vagrants. The weather should be generally dry and pleasant, but with a chance of showers and cold at the highest points. Photo opportunities are good.

We enjoyed near-perfect weather as we explored many of the best birding sites, seeing nearly 170 species and photographing most of them, including the vast majority of the avian endemics. Taiwan is only a bit larger than the US state of Maryland, but with a population more than that of Florida; a www.tropicalbirding.com +1-409-515-9110 [email protected] p.1 Tropical Birding - Trip Report Taiwan: Birding with a Camera, November 2018 common impression is that the island is a vast city with no natural habitat left, but that could not be further from the truth. Most people live in the coastal plain, which is far from picturesque, but does have some globally important wetlands that huge numbers of shorebirds, waterfowl, and other aquatic species inhabit, and we spent a couple of excellent days in these areas. Away from the coast, the terrain becomes very mountainous and sparsely-populated, with lush forest, gorgeous vistas, and some truly spectacular endemic birds. Taiwan’s mountains reach nearly 13000 ft. (4000 m.) in height, which is remarkable considering its small size.

    Bird Observer VOLUME 39, NUMBER 3 JUNE 2011 HOT BIRDS Steve Haydock spotted this White-faced Ibis (left) on Plum Island on April 22 and Suzanne Sullivan photographed it April 24. But on April 26, birders watching the ibis were horrified when a one-eyed Peregrine Falcon attacked and killed it. Rick Bowes discovered a Harris’s Sparrow (right) on Duxbury Beach in November, and on April 21 he took this photograph of it in moult. On April 29, Warren Tatro discovered a Scissor-tailed Flycatcher (left) on Plum Island and Jon Saperia was lucky enough to capture a couple of images before it disappeared. John Young sighted a Cassin’s Sparrow (right) in Truro on May 15. It didn't take long for Blair Nikula to get up there with his camera, and he took this diagnostic photograph. If accepted by the MARC, this will be a first state record. On May 18, Ian Davies spotted a Eurasian Hobby (left) from his dining- room window at Manomet. Later that day, Jeremiah Trimble was able to get this photograph. If accepted by the MARC, it will be a first state record and possibly only a second record for the lower 48.

  • TAIWAN Formosan Endemics
    TAIWAN Formosan Endemics A Tropical Birding Custom Tour June 14 – 22, 2019 Guides: Ken Behrens & Kuan Chieh Hung/貫捷洪 Report and photos by Ken Behrens TOUR SUMMARY Taiwan is a gem of a country that lies off the coast of East Asia. Although its mention evokes huge urban areas and massive populations in the minds of most, Taiwan actually boasts rugged mountains and vast wilderness areas. These support a rich array of wildlife, including dozens of endemic bird species and even more endemic subspecies, many of which are potential future splits. Taiwan is a comfortable place to travel, with modern hotels, world-class roads, and excellent food. Whether you’re an experienced Asia-phile birder seeking out the island’s endemic birds, or a newcomer to this part of the world, Taiwan is an excellent place to visit. This short trip was a bit unusual in a couple respects. For one, it was during the summer, whereas most birding tours run during the spring season. Although in June, the winter and passage birds were gone, it was if anything better for the endemic birds. This custom trip was also somewhat unusual in its hybrid approach, as we tried to see all the endemic birds, photograph as many birds as possible (as on a “Birding with a Camera” tour), plus to see as much other wildlife as we could manage. We were highly successful on all fronts. Taiwan: Formosan Endemics June 14-22, 2019 With the endemic birds, we saw all 28 endemic species recognized on the current Clements list, plus several highly likely future splits, and dozens more endemic subspecies, some of which may be elevated to full endemic species in the future.
