Checklist of the Birds of South Asia [Version 1] Praveen J., Rajah Jayapal, & Aasheesh Pittie Checklist of the birds of South Asia [Version 1] Praveen J., Rajah Jayapal, & Aasheesh Pittie This is a complete checklist of the birds of South Asia [Version 1] (hereafter, ‘South Asia Checklist [ver. 1]’). It includes taxa that are both, claimed, and possible for the region (Rasmussen & Anderton 2012a, b). The checklist follows the fourth edition of The Howard and Moore Complete Checklist of the Birds of the World (hereafter, ‘H&M4’; Dickinson & Remsen 2013; Dickinson & Christidis 2014) for taxonomy and species sequence. It also largely adopts the English names as given in H&M4; however, for some taxa (85 species), regionally established names have been chosen over H&M4 names with adequate care that they do not alter the global outlook of the South Asia Checklist [ver. 1]. For this work, the region covered by South Asia includes Afghanistan, Pakistan, India, Nepal, Bhutan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, The Maldives, and the Chagos Archipelago. The South Asia Checklist [ver. 1] has been compiled mainly as a ready-reckoner for users interested in the birds of South Asia. With rapid advances in molecular systematics and phylogenetics, avian taxonomy has been a cauldron of intense research over the past two decades and the resulting turbulence is likely to continue for some more time till it stabilizes. It is, therefore, only pertinent that we follow an authoritative and dynamic source for systematics and species sequence to keep the South Asia Checklist [ver. 1] taxonomically current and modern. H&M4, being a widely respected and thoroughly researched world bird list, is our natural choice. As and when H&M4 is updated (as promised by its authors), we will update South Asia Checklist [ver. 1] for relevant changes in South Asian avifauna. Users should be ready for significant changes in taxonomy and English nomenclature in future, as we expect more radical findings from ongoing studies on species limits and higher-order taxonomy in Aves. Meanwhile we welcome comments and suggestions from all users to continually improve the South Asia Checklist [ver. 1] in terms of its scientific accuracy, coverage of taxa, and appeal of its choice of English nomenclature.

    Podoces, 2008, 3(1/2): 1–30 Rare Birds in Iran in the Late 1960s and 1970s DEREK A. SCOTT Castletownbere Post Office, Castletownbere, Co. Cork, Ireland. Email: [email protected] Received 26 July 2008; accepted 14 September 2008 Abstract: The 12-year period from 1967 to 1978 was a period of intense ornithological activity in Iran. The Ornithology Unit in the Department of the Environment carried out numerous surveys throughout the country; several important international ornithological expeditions visited Iran and subsequently published their findings, and a number of resident and visiting bird-watchers kept detailed records of their observations and submitted these to the Ornithology Unit. These activities added greatly to our knowledge of the status and distribution of birds in Iran, and produced many records of birds which had rarely if ever been recorded in Iran before. This paper gives details of all records known to the author of 92 species that were recorded as rarities in Iran during the 12-year period under review. These include 18 species that had not previously been recorded in Iran, a further 67 species that were recorded on fewer than 13 occasions, and seven slightly commoner species for which there were very few records prior to 1967. All records of four distinctive subspecies are also included. The 29 species that were known from Iran prior to 1967 but not recorded during the period under review are listed in an Appendix. Keywords: Rare birds, rarities, 1970s, status, distribution, Iran. INTRODUCTION Eftekhar, E. Kahrom and J. Mansoori, several of whom quickly became keen ornithologists.

Helbig'^*, Annett Kocum'^, Ingrid Seibold^, Michael J. Braun^ '^ Institute of Zoology, University of Greifswald, Vogelwarte Hiddensee, D-18565 Kloster, Germany Department of Zoology, National Museum of Natural History, Smithsonian Institution, 4210 Silver Hill Rd., Suitland, MD 20746, USA Received 19 March 2004; revised 21 September 2004 Available online 24 December 2004 Abstract The phylogeny of the tribe Aquilini (eagles with fully feathered tarsi) was investigated using 4.2 kb of DNA sequence of one mito- chondrial (cyt b) and three nuclear loci (RAG-1 coding region, LDH intron 3, and adenylate-kinase intron 5). Phylogenetic signal was highly congruent and complementary between mtDNA and nuclear genes. In addition to single-nucleotide variation, shared deletions in nuclear introns supported one basal and two peripheral clades within the Aquilini. Monophyly of the Aquilini relative to other birds of prey was confirmed. However, all polytypic genera within the tribe, Spizaetus, Aquila, Hieraaetus, turned out to be non-monophyletic. Old World Spizaetus and Stephanoaetus together appear to be the sister group of the rest of the Aquilini. Spiza- stur melanoleucus and Oroaetus isidori axe nested among the New World Spizaetus species and should be merged with that genus. The Old World 'Spizaetus' species should be assigned to the genus Nisaetus (Hodgson, 1836). The sister species of the two spotted eagles (Aquila clanga and Aquila pomarina) is the African Long-crested Eagle (Lophaetus occipitalis).

    SOUTH AFRICA: KRUGER NATIONAL PARK AND ESCARPMENT SET DEPARTURE TRIP REPORT 29 SEPTEMBER – 7 OCTOBER 2019 By Jason Boyce Kruger National Park is a great location to see many of the endangered Vulture species that we have in South Africa. Here is the Critically Endangered (IUCN) White-headed Vulture. www.birdingecotours.com [email protected] 2 | T R I P R E P O R T Kruger National Park and Escarpment September 2019 Overview This is one of my personal favorite areas to go birding in South Africa. The escarpment regions hold a variety of different habitats and can produce some really top birds, while the reputation of Kruger National Park speaks for itself. We spent a couple of days birding the grasslands of Dullstroom, the escarpment forests near Graskop, and the rocky landscapes through the J. G. Strijdom Tunnel. Top birds here included Cape Eagle Owl, Blue Crane, Gurney’s Sugarbird, Narina Trogon, and Knysna Turaco, not to mention the pair of African Finfoots seen in the Wilge River Valley en route to Dullstroom. Kruger National Park delivered right from day 1 with Dark Chanting Goshawk, White-headed Vulture, and Greater Painted Snipe around Letaba. We worked our way south from Letaba Rest Camp all the way to Berg en Dal Rest Camp over the next few days, with Satara Rest Camp producing Martial Eagle, the magnificent Saddle-billed Stork, and a large pride of Lions with cubs on the famous S100. Berg en Dal Rest Camp was great for birding, once again producing Retz’s Helmetshrike, Purple-banded Sunbird, African Barred Owlet, Purple-crested Turaco, and Bearded Scrub Robin.

  • Thailand Highlights 14Th to 26Th November 2019 (13 Days)
    Thailand Highlights 14th to 26th November 2019 (13 days) Trip Report Siamese Fireback by Forrest Rowland Trip report compiled by Tour Leader: Forrest Rowland Trip Report – RBL Thailand - Highlights 2019 2 Tour Summary Thailand has been known as a top tourist destination for quite some time. Foreigners and Ex-pats flock there for the beautiful scenery, great infrastructure, and delicious cuisine among other cultural aspects. For birders, it has recently caught up to big names like Borneo and Malaysia, in terms of respect for the avian delights it holds for visitors. Our twelve-day Highlights Tour to Thailand set out to sample a bit of the best of every major habitat type in the country, with a slight focus on the lush montane forests that hold most of the country’s specialty bird species. The tour began in Bangkok, a bustling metropolis of winding narrow roads, flyovers, towering apartment buildings, and seemingly endless people. Despite the density and throng of humanity, many of the participants on the tour were able to enjoy a Crested Goshawk flight by Forrest Rowland lovely day’s visit to the Grand Palace and historic center of Bangkok, including a fun boat ride passing by several temples. A few early arrivals also had time to bird some of the urban park settings, even picking up a species or two we did not see on the Main Tour. For most, the tour began in earnest on November 15th, with our day tour of the salt pans, mudflats, wetlands, and mangroves of the famed Pak Thale Shore bird Project, and Laem Phak Bia mangroves.

  • Report of the Independent Bird Survey, Bijarim Ro, Jeju, June 2019
    Report of the Independent Bird Survey, Bijarim Ro, Jeju, June 2019 th Nial Moores, Birds Korea, June 24 2019 Photo 1. Black Paradise Flycatcher, Bijarim Ro, June 2019 © Ha Jungmoon 1. Survey Key Findings In the context of national obligations to the Convention on Biological Diversity; and in the recognition of the poor quality of the original assessment in June 2014 which found only 16 bird species in total and concluded that the proposed road-widening would cause an “insignificant” impact to wildlife and no impact to Endangered species (because there are no Endangered animal species in the area), this independent bird survey conducted on June 10th and 11th and again from June 14th-19th 2019 concludes that forested habitat along the Bijarim Ro is of high national and probably of high international value to avian biodiversity conservation. Although this survey was limited in time and scope (so that the populations of many species were likely under-recorded), and very little time was available to conduct additional research for this report and for translation (five days total), our survey findings include: (1) 46 species of bird in total, including six species of national conservation concern; (2) 13 territories of the nationally Endangered Fairy Pitta Pitta nympha and 23 territories of the nationally Endangered Black Paradise Flycatcher Terpsiphone atrocaudata within 500m of the Bijarim Ro, with several of these territories within 50m of the road; (3) Three territories of the nationally and globally Endangered Japanese Night Heron Gorsachius goisagi, at least two of which were within 500m of the Bijarim Ro.

  • Ornithological Records from Ha Giang Province, North-East Vietnam, During March–June 2000
    FORKTAIL 19 (2003): 21-30 Ornithological records from Ha Giang province, north-east Vietnam, during March–June 2000 C. J. VOGEL, P. R. SWEET, LE MANH HUNG and M. M. HURLEY Ornithological field surveys were undertaken at three montane forest sites in Ha Giang province, north-east Vietnam, between March and June 2000. A total of 146 bird species were recorded, including Beautiful Nuthatch Sitta formosa (Vulnerable), Short-tailed Scimitar Babbler Jabouillea danjoui (Near Threatened), the first record for Vietnam of Yellow-vented Warbler Phylloscopus cantator, and 16 additional species previously unrecorded in East Tonkin. The results indicate that the montane regions of northern Vietnam east of the Red River remain under-surveyed.
