Bird Records from Laos, October 1994-August 1995
FORKTAIL 13 (1998): 33-68 Bird records from Laos, October 1994-August 1995 J. W. DUCKWORTH, R. J. TIZARD, R. J. TIMMINS, R. M. THEWLIS, W. G. ROBICHAUD and T. D. EVANS Between October 1994 and June 1995 birds were surveyed at six main areas in Laos, with incidental observations at many other sites extending until August 1995. Most effort was at four sites between 17°26' Nand 18°40' N (the Nakay Plateau, Phou Khaokhoay National Biodiversity Conservation Area (NBCA), Nam Kading NBCA and three nearby limestone outcrops), but there was extensive work on the Bolaven Plateau to the south and a brief visit to Phou Dendin NBCA in the extreme north. The latter is the first bird survey of a site much north of Vientiane since 1950. Information was collected for 15 Globally Threatened species and 28 Globally Near- Threatened species (sensu Collar et al. 1994), nine species At Risk in Laos, seven potentially so and one where threats in Laos are little known (sensu Thewlis et aL in prep.). A further Globally Near-Threatened species was recorded provisionally. Records of Grey-sided Thrush Turdus ftae and Black-headed Bunting Emberiza melanocephala were the first for Indochina. Ruddy Shelduck Tadorna ftrruginea, Lesser Cuckoo Cuculus poliocephalus,Pallas's Gull Larus ichthyaetus (from December 1995), Dunlin Calidris alpina, Long-toed Stint C subminutaand Chestnut-vented Nuthatch Sitta nagaensiswere new to Laos and Eurasian Blackbird Turdus merula to Cambodia. A total of 12 (plus one provisionally identified), nine and five (plus one provisionally identified) species were found new for North, Central and South Laos respectively. -
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.
