Abstract The nesting biology of a bird species is likely the most important component of its life history and it is affected by several ecological and environmental factors. Various components of avian nesting biology have proved to be important traits for testing fundamental ecological and evolutionary hypotheses, and for monitoring the efficacy of biological conservation programs. Despite its significance, the nesting biology of most Indian bird species is still poorly understood. The past few years have, however, seen a significant increase in the number of submissions to Indian BIRDS, of observational studies of avian nesting biology, which promises an exciting new wave of ornithological natural history research in India.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Ultimate Northeast India
    We had great views of the endearing Golden-breasted Fulvetta (Hannu Jännes). 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. The Assam Plains close to the Dibru Saikhowa National Park and mosaic of the floodplains on route to Roing brought us Bristled Grassbird, Marsh and Jerdon’s Babblers, and Black-breasted Parrotbill.

An ornithological survey was conducted in Dibru-Saikhowa National Park and Biosphere Reserve in Assam between 1992 and 1996 with brief visits in 2001 and 2004. At least 24 Threatened species were recorded that included White-winged Duck Cairina scutulata, Baer’s Pochard Aythya baeri, Pale-capped Pigeon Columba punicea, Spotted Greenshank Tringa guttifer, Slender-billed Vulture Gyps tenuirostris, White-backed Vulture G. bengalensis, White-bellied Heron Ardea insignis, Greater Adjutant-Stork Leptoptilos dubius, Sarus Crane Grus antigone, Bengal Florican Houbaropsis bengalensis and Black-breasted Parrotbill Paradoxornis flavirostris. In addition, 16 Near-threatened and, a few range extentions were also recorded. Presence of two ‘forest villages’, habitat destruction through agriculture, logging, settlement, and poisoning of waterbodies for fishing, and erosion by rivers were noticed as major threats. Recommendations include inclusion of Amarpur within the park, translocation of ‘forest villages’, awareness campaigns and ecotourism. A checklist of 440 species, including historic records, is appended. Introduction riverine tracts and depressions. During the great earthquake he Dibru-Saikhowa National Park and Biosphere of 1950, large parts of the reserve sank by a few meters, Reserve is located in Tinsukia and Dibrugarh districts resulting in the regular flooding of the area.
