  • Birding Tour to Ghana Specializing on Upper Guinea Forest 12–26 January 2018
    Birding Tour to Ghana Specializing on Upper Guinea Forest 12–26 January 2018 Chocolate-backed Kingfisher, Ankasa Resource Reserve (Dan Casey photo) Participants: Jim Brown (Missoula, MT) Dan Casey (Billings and Somers, MT) Steve Feiner (Portland, OR) Bob & Carolyn Jones (Billings, MT) Diane Kook (Bend, OR) Judy Meredith (Bend, OR) Leaders: Paul Mensah, Jackson Owusu, & Jeff Marks Prepared by Jeff Marks Executive Director, Montana Bird Advocacy Birding Ghana, Montana Bird Advocacy, January 2018, Page 1 Tour Summary Our trip spanned latitudes from about 5° to 9.5°N and longitudes from about 3°W to the prime meridian. Weather was characterized by high cloud cover and haze, in part from Harmattan winds that blow from the northeast and carry particulates from the Sahara Desert. Temperatures were relatively pleasant as a result, and precipitation was almost nonexistent. Everyone stayed healthy, the AC on the bus functioned perfectly, the tropical fruits (i.e., bananas, mangos, papayas, and pineapples) that Paul and Jackson obtained from roadside sellers were exquisite and perfectly ripe, the meals and lodgings were passable, and the jokes from Jeff tolerable, for the most part. We detected 380 species of birds, including some that were heard but not seen. We did especially well with kingfishers, bee-eaters, greenbuls, and sunbirds. We observed 28 species of diurnal raptors, which is not a large number for this part of the world, but everyone was happy with the wonderful looks we obtained of species such as African Harrier-Hawk, African Cuckoo-Hawk, Hooded Vulture, White-headed Vulture, Bat Hawk (pair at nest!), Long-tailed Hawk, Red-chested Goshawk, Grasshopper Buzzard, African Hobby, and Lanner Falcon.

    Biodiversity Observations http://bo.adu.org.za An electronic journal published by the Animal Demography Unit at the University of Cape Town The scope of Biodiversity Observations consists of papers describing observations about biodiversity in general, including animals, plants, algae and fungi. This includes observations of behaviour, breeding and flowering patterns, distributions and range extensions, foraging, food, movement, measurements, habitat and colouration/plumage variations. Biotic interactions such as pollination, fruit dispersal, herbivory and predation fall within the scope, as well as the use of indigenous and exotic species by humans. Observations of naturalised plants and animals will also be considered. Biodiversity Observations will also publish a variety of other interesting or relevant biodiversity material: reports of projects and conferences, annotated checklists for a site or region, specialist bibliographies, book reviews and any other appropriate material. Further details and guidelines to authors are on this website. Paper Editor: Les G. Underhill OVERVIEW OF THE DISCOVERY OF THE WEAVERS H.

  • Remote Tanzania
    The wonderful Usambara Eagle Owl... our inevitable bird of the trip! (Pete Morris) REMOTE TANZANIA 27 SEPTEMBER / 1 – 16 / 24 OCTOBER 2016 LEADER: PETE MORRIS Our 2017 tour to ‘Remote Tanzania’ turned out to be a fantastic adventure that way-surpassed most of our expectations. And with the addition of a pre-tour Northern Tanzania endemics extension, and a post-tour Ud- zungwa Mountains extension, the tour really was converted to an ‘Ultimate Tanzania’. For most of the tour we were accompanied by our ever reliable, super friendly and effcient local driver and excellent local guide, and were blessed with largely good weather, most importantly when we were camping up in the mountains. With such a good set up and conditions, there were few excuses, so we effciently set about our task of hoovering up the endemics, whilst enjoying the other wonders that this great country has to offer. 1 BirdQuest Tour Report: Remote Tanzania 2016 www.birdquest-tours.com The stunning Swynnerton’s Robin... a highlight of the Udzungwa Extension (Pete Morris) The pre-tour extension involved a whistle stop trek from Arusha to the Lariboro Plains and then down to Ndutu on the edge of the great Serengeti Plains and back via the amazing Ngorongoro Crater. Our task was to fnd the endemics: Grey-breasted Spurfowl, Yellow-collared and Fischer’s Lovebirds, Beesley’s Lark, Rufous-tailed Weaver and Ashy Starling all performed well alongside an excellent cast of other hoped-for birds and mam- mals. The main tour saw us travelling through arid plains and on to the South Pare Mountains, the East and West Usambaras, the attractive Pemba Island, the remote Uluguru and Ukaguru Mountains, the impressive Mikumi National Park and its surrounding miombo woodlands and the little explored Kilombero Plains.

  • Version 2014-04-28 Attached Is the Dynamic1 List of Migratory Landbird
    African-Eurasian Migratory Landbirds Action Plan Annex 3: Species Lists Version 2014-04-28 Attached is the dynamic1 list of migratory landbird species that occur within the African Eurasian region according to the following definition: 1. Migratory is defined as those species recorded within the IUCN Species Information Service (SIS) and BirdLife World Bird Database (WBDB) as ‘Full Migrant’, i.e. species which have a substantial (>50%) proportion of the global population which migrates: - with the addition of Great Bustard Otis tarda which is listed on CMS Appendix I and is probably erroneously recorded as an altitudinal migrant within SIS and the WBDB - with the omission of all single-country endemic migrants, in order to conform with the CMS definition of migratory which requires a species to ‘cross one or more national jurisdictional boundaries,’; in reality this has meant the removal of only one species, Madagascar Blue-pigeon Alectroenas madagascariensis. However, it should be noted that removing single-country endemics is not strictly analogous with omitting species that do not cross political borders. It is quite possible for a migratory species whose range extends across multiple countries to contain no populations that actually cross national boundaries as part of their regular migration. 2. African-Eurasian is defined as Africa, Europe (including all of the Russian Federation and excluding Greenland), the Middle East, Central Asia, Afghanistan, and the Indian sub-continent. 3. Landbird is defined as those species not recorded in SIS and the WBDB as being seabirds, raptors or waterbirds, except for the following waterbird species that are recorded as not utilising freshwater habitats: Geronticus eremita, Geronticus calvus, Burhinus oedicnemus, Cursorius cursor and Tryngites subruficollis.

  • Birds That Vanish While We Turn Our Backs Simon N
    Birds That Vanish While We Turn Our Backs Simon N. Stuart Thirteen forest bird species are seriously threatened in East Africa - one, a bush shrike, may already be extinct. But the very small surviving area of forest is being rapidly destroyed, and soil eroded. If the tree-felling can be stopped it could both save the rare birds and stop the erosion. The author's study of these forest birds was aided by the FPS Oryx 100% Fund. Most of the very rare East African birds are forest species, and today forest covers only three per cent of the land surface in this region. Even this is rapidly declining. By far the most crucial areas for rare bird species are the Arabuko-Sokoke Forest in coastal Kenya, the East and West Usambara Mountains in north-eastern Tanzania, and the Uluguru Mountains, 150km west of Dar es Salaam; the avifauna of these areas is unique.8 Next in importance are the forests of the Tana River and Shimba Hills in coastal Kenya, the Taita Hills near Tsavo National Park, the Nguru and Ukaguru Mountains in eastern Tanzania, and the Pugu Hills near Dar es Salaam. Thirteen bird species are threatened in these areas due to their very small ranges - see the table. The tiny Sokoke scops owlOtus ireneae was only discovered in 1965,6 and is still only known from the Sokoke Forest. Here it is restricted to the Cynometra-Manilkara forest, where it occurs at a density of 7 to 8 pairs per sq km, giving a total population for the forest reserve of 1300-1500 pairs.3 This is higher than was once thought, but the future of this forest is still uncertain, and the species must be regarded as seriously threatened.
