    Arunachal Pradesh, India (Eaglenest, Dirang and Nameri) 5-15 April 2007 Graham Talbot, Ramana Athreya, Mike Turnbull, Chris Campion, Bjorn Anderson and Joakim Hammar with the endemic-rich eastern Himalayas in the background Björn Anderson General This is a report from a highly successful trip to the eastern Himalayas together with Hong Kong birding companions Joakim (Jocko) Hammar, Chris Campion, Graham Talbot and Mike Turnbull. CC, GT and MT sneaked away from non-birding duties a few days earlier than Jocko and myself and thereby also squeezed in Kaziranga. Two years ago Eaglenest would have required a full presentation, but with the published discovery of the Bugun Liocichla in 2006 the place is on everyone’s lips. In fact more than 250 Indian and foreign birders made the pilgrimage to Eaglenest in early 2007! If the Bugun people ever doubted that their forest would be of international interest, they are by now proven quite wrong. I and Jocko spent six nights at Eaglenest before moving to Dirang for two nights and finishing off with one morning at Nameri in the Assam lowlands. We were fortunate to enjoy the company and guiding of Ramana Athreya the entire time. Ramana is the birder who first found and described the Bugun Liocichla and made Eaglenest known to the birding community. Highlights This is one of those places on earth where you in a short period of time can see so many good birds that it is difficult to pick out a top five, even a top ten! - The absolutely unconcerned male Ward’s Trogon that gave itself up after 18 hours of

  • A Photographic Field Guide to the Birds of India
    © Copyright, Princeton University Press. No part of this book may be 4 BIRDS OF INDIAdistributed, posted, or reproduced in any form by digital or mechanical means without prior written permission of the publisher. INTRODUCTION Birds of the Indian subcontinent an overview by Carol and Tim Inskipp The Indian subcontinent has a great wealth of birds, making it a paradise for the birdwatcher. The classic Handbook of the Birds of India and Pakistan by Salim Ali and S Dillon Ripley, which covers the whole region and was first published in 1968-1975, lists over 1,200 species. With additional recording and following the more up-to-date nomenclature in the Howard and Moore Complete Checklist of Birds of the World edited by E. C. Dickinson (2003) the current species total for the subcontinent stands at 1,375 species – 13 per cent of the world’s birds. A further relevant reference is Birds of South Asia: the Ripley Guide by Pamela Rasmussen and John Anderton, which has adopted much narrower species Dr. Salim Ali limits and, consequently, the latest edition (2012) recognises 1451 species in the region. Note that less than 800 species are found in all of North America. The Indian subcontinent is species-rich partly because of its wide altitudinal range extending from sea level up to the summit of the Himalayas, the world’s highest mountains. Another reason is the region’s highly varied climate and associated diverse vegetation. The extremes range from the almost rainless Great Indian or Thar Desert, where temperatures reach over 55°C, to the wet evergreen forests of the Assam Hills where 1,300 cm of rain a year have bee recorded at Cherrapunji – one of the wettest places on Earth, and the Arctic conditions of the Himalayan peaks where only alpine flowers and cushion plants flourish at over 4,900 m.

A new species of Liocichla (Aves: Timaliidae) from Eaglenest Wildlife Sanctuary, Arunachal Pradesh, India. Indian Birds 2 (4): 82-94. Publication date: 8 September 2006. Ramana Athreya, National Centre for Radio Astrophysics (TIFR), P.O. Bag 3, Pune University Campus, Pune 411007, India. Email: [email protected] This paper describes a new bird species of the genus Liocichla discovered near Eaglenest Wildlife Sanc- tuary in western Arunachal Pradesh, India. While the taxon most closely resembles L. omeiensis, an endemic of China, the many points of difference in plumage, size and vocalisations indicate a new species. The known population is very small and only three (breeding?) pairs responded to song play- back in May 2006. The plumage and the vocalisations are distinctive and therefore the paucity of records suggests a small and highly localized population. 1. A new species of liocichla releasing it in the same area on the same day after obtaining 1.1 The genus Liocichla photographs and detailed notes on its plumage. The iocichlas are an Asian babbler genus hitherto similarities between the Eaglenest taxon and L. omeiensis comprising three allopatric species. Red-faced suggest that they are closely related, but the many differences L Liocichla Liocichla phoenicea (Gould, 1837) [formerly in plumage and vocalisations—especially song—indicate a Crimson-winged Laughingthrush Garrulax phoeniceus] is new species and therefore I propose to name it: widely distributed from north-eastern India to north-western Vietnam through northern Myanmar, southern Yunnan Bugun Liocichla Liocichla bugunorum sp.

  • Indian Tribal Ornaments; a Hidden Treasure
    IOSR Journal of Environmental Science, Toxicology and Food Technology (IOSR-JESTFT) e-ISSN: 2319-2402,p- ISSN: 2319-2399.Volume 10, Issue 3 Ver. II (Mar. 2016), PP 01-16 www.iosrjournals.org Indian Tribal Ornaments; a Hidden Treasure Dr. Jyoti Dwivedi Department of Environmental Biology A.P.S. University Rewa (M.P.) 486001India Abstract: In early India, people handcrafted jewellery out of natural materials found in abundance all over the country. Seeds, feathers, leaves, berries, fruits, flowers, animal bones, claws and teeth; everything from nature was affectionately gathered and artistically transformed into fine body jewellery. Even today such jewellery is used by the different tribal societies in India. It appears that both men and women of that time wore jewellery made of gold, silver, copper, ivory and precious and semi-precious stones.Jewelry made by India's tribes is attractive in its rustic and earthy way. Using materials available in the local area, it is crafted with the help of primitive tools. The appeal of tribal jewelry lies in its chunky, unrefined appearance. Tribal Jewelry is made by indigenous tribal artisans using local materials to create objects of adornment that contain significant cultural meaning for the wearer. Keywords: Tribal ornaments, Tribal culture, Tribal population , Adornment, Amulets, Practical and Functional uses. I. Introduction Tribal Jewelry is primarily intended to be worn as a form of beautiful adornment also acknowledged as a repository for wealth since antiquity. The tribal people are a heritage to the Indian land. Each tribe has kept its unique style of jewelry intact even now. The original format of jewelry design has been preserved by ethnic tribal.

  • Eaglenest Trip Report April 2021
    Eaglenest Trip Report April 2021 Eaglenest is nestled in the eastern Himalayan foothills and derives its name from the Red Eagle Division of the Indian army which was posted there. Eaglenest’s isolation and its extreme altitude variations from 750m to 3500m+ are the main reasons for a plethora of flora and fauna recorded there. Little surprise that a bird was discovered there as late as 1995. Due to the bird’s small population and very restricted distribution, scientists were able to describe it only by 2006. Named after the ‘Bugun’ community which resides where the bird was discovered, the Bugun Liocichla is undoubtedly the star attraction of any Eaglenest birding trip. Along with the Bugun Liocichla there are many other birds which are best seen in Eaglenest. In April the winter migrants make their way back through Eaglenest at the same time the resident birds get vocal for their own breeding season. This makes the month of April one of the best times to visit this place. We spent a total of 8 days starting and ending our journey from Guwahati. A big thanks to Arka Sarkar who organized and led this trip. Our bird guide Dombe Pradhan knew his stuff and took real efforts to spot birds for us. Our group consisted of Chinmay Rahane, Ameya Mundle, Swati Jajal, Noopur Barve and Mihir Barve. 3rd April: Guwahati to Tenga One the first day we had a 5-6-hour drive to reach Tenga. We approached the tri- border area which was a sight to behold. Farmlands on the Assam side (where we were), thick forested area in Arunachal Pradesh ahead of us and the mountain ranges of Bhutan on our left.

ULTIMATE NORTHEAST INDIA 31 MARCH / 2 - 23 APRIL 2019 TOUR LEADERS: HANNU JÄNNES This year’s Birdquest epic 24 day tour to the remote northeast corner of the Indian subcontinent was very successful and amassed nearly 500 species. The pre-tour extension to the Khasi Hills of Meghalaya proved a good start with both Dark-rumped Swift and Tawny-breasted Wren-Babbler. The grasslands and semi- deciduous forests of Orang National Park produced a magnificent Tiger and a pair of Brown Fish Owls, and from the Himalayan middle lands to the snowy heights of the Dirang Region, we enjoyed Snow Partridge, Blood Pheasant, Himalayan Monal, Black-tailed Crake, Fire-tailed Myzornis, Slender-billed Scimitar Babbler, the first Naumann’s Thrush for India, a big movement of Fire-tailed Sunbirds and many gorgeous Grandalas. The magnificent Eaglenest Wildlife Sanctuary never disappoints, and we saw such gems as Rufous-necked Hornbill, Hodgson’s Frogmouth, Ward’s Trogon, Beautiful Nuthatch, Yellow-rumped Honeyguide, Rufous- 1 BirdQuest Tour Report: Ultimate Northeast India www.birdquest-tours.com throated and Long-billed Wren-Babblers, Sikkim Wedge-billed Babbler and Bugun Liocichla. Briefly side tracking into Nagaland was rewarded with Yellow-throated Laughingthrush, a Birdquest lifer, whilst at the world famous Kaziranga National Park we were rewarded with Indian Grassbird, Slender-billed Babbler, Finn’s Weaver, Swamp Francolin and Greater Adjutant.
