  • Sierra Leone Rockfowl and Upper Guinea Specials 21St February to 7Th March 2022 (15 Days)
    Sierra Leone Rockfowl and Upper Guinea Specials 21st February to 7th March 2022 (15 days) White-necked Rockfowl by Adam Riley RBL Sierra Leone Itinerary 2 Sierra Leone is a core West African destination, offering visitors a diverse range of exciting Upper Guinea forest birds and mammals. Rockjumper pioneered this tour during reconnaissance trips in 2005 and then led three successful tours in the course of 2006; these being the first-ever birding tours to the country. Sierra Leone’s biologically rich rainforests support no less than 15 of the 16 Upper Guinea endemic bird species, including the fabled White-necked Rockfowl that will form the basis of our tour. Forest specialties abound and we will focus on finding the rare Gola Malimbe, Sierra Leone Prinia, Black-headed Rufous Warbler, Hartlaub’s Duck, Brown-cheeked Hornbill, Sharpe’s Apalis, Kemp’s Longbill, White-breasted Guineafowl and Red-cheeked Wattle-eye; while the wooded savannas are home to the stunning Emerald Starling, Crimson Seedcracker and Turati’s Boubou, to name but a few. THE TOUR AT A GLANCE… THE ITINERARY Day 1 Arrival in Freetown Day 2 Freetown and Western Peninsula Forest Reserve Day 3 Regent Forest and transfer to Tiwai Island Day 4 Tiwai Island Day 5 Tiwai Island to Kenema Day 6 Kenema to Lalehun and walk in to Gola North (Tourist Camp) Day 7 Gola North (Tourist Camp) Day 8 Gola North to Lalehun and transfer to Kenema Day 9 Kenema to Koidu Day 10 Koidu to Loma Mountains and walk to camp 1 Day 11 Loma Mountains – camp 1 Day 12 Loma Mountains – camp 1 to Koidu Day 13 Koidu to Makeni via Bumbuna area Day 14 Bumbuna area Day 15 Makeni to Lungi International airport and departure RBL Sierra Leone Itinerary 3 TOUR MAP… THE TOUR IN DETAIL… Day 1: Arrival in Freetown.

  • Three New Species of Stiphrornis \(Aves: Muscicapidae\) from the Afro
    Systematics and Biodiversity (2017), 15(2): 87–104 Research Article Three new species of Stiphrornis (Aves: Muscicapidae) from the Afro- tropics, with a molecular phylogenetic assessment of the genus GARY VOELKER1, MICHAEL TOBLER2, HEATHER L. PRESTRIDGE1, ELZA DUIJM3, DICK GROENENBERG3, MARK R. HUTCHINSON1, ALYSSA D. MARTIN1, ALINE NIEMAN3, CEES S. ROSELAAR4 & JERRY W. HUNTLEY1 1Department of Wildlife and Fisheries Sciences, Texas A&M University, College Station, TX 77843, USA 2Division of Biology, Kansas State University, Manhattan, KS 66506, USA 3Naturalis Biodiversity Center, Sylviusweg 72, 2333 BE Leiden, the Netherlands 4Naturalis Biodiversity Center, Vertebrate Department, PO Box 9517, 2300 RA Leiden, the Netherlands (Received 22 April 2016; accepted 7 August 2016; published online 28 September 2016) We describe three new species of forest robin in the genus Stiphrornis; two from West Africa and one from the Congo Basin. Each species represents a distinct phylogenetic lineage based on genetic analysis. In addition to genetic differentiation, each new species is diagnosable from other Stiphrornis lineages by morphology, and by plumage. One of the new species appears to be restricted to the Central and Brong-Ahafo Regions of Ghana, and another is restricted to Benin and the Central Region of Ghana. In Ghana, these two new species presumably come into contact with Stiphrornis erythrothorax (Western Region of Ghana and westward), and there is evidence that one of the new species has a distinguishably different song from erythrothorax. The distribution of the third new species is primarily on the south bank of the Congo River, near the city of Kisangani. Recognition of these species provides additional evidence that Afrotropical forests are harbouring substantial cryptic diversity, and that our knowledge of the drivers of this diversity remains poorly documented across the region.

    Tanzania 16 - 27 April 2018 Tour Leader Tertius Gous Photographs by Tertius Gous taken on this tour www.birdingafrica.com Day 0: The first day was spent birding and relaxing at our lodge near Kilimanjaro International Airport while we waited for everyone to arrive. The open Acacia savanna surrounding the lodge always provides a very productive start to the tour and notable sightings included Speckled and Blue- naped Mousebird, White-browed Coucal, Mourning Collared Dove, Little and African Palm Swift, European Roller, Grey-headed Kingfisher, African Hoopoe, Red-backed Shrike, Long-tailed Fiscal, Dark-capped Bulbul (the first of many!), Northern and Red-faced Crombec, Willow Warbler, Eastern Olivaceous Warbler, Tawny-flanked Prinia, Buff-bellied Warbler, Garden Warbler, Winding Cisticola, Spotted Flycatcher, Spotted Palm Thrush, Superb and Violet-backed Starling, Scarlet- chested and Variable Sunbird, Red-billed Firefinch, Blue-capped Cordon-bleu, Crimson-rumped Waxbill and Reichenow’s Seedeater, while Yellow-winged Bat showed well at the lodge. As a bonus, our lodge was perfectly situated for spectacular views of Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa's highest mountain and the highest free-standing mountain in the world. Days 1- 2: We spent two full days exploring the grasslands, lakes, woodlands and forests of Arusha National Park. Close to the entrance of the Park we found a breeding colony of Taveta Weavers supported by a few Golden-backed Weavers and an obliging Brown-breasted Barbet. Soon after we entered the Park an open grassy meadow produced good numbers of African Buffalo with numerous Red- billed Oxpeckers in attendance, as well as Bushbuck. Other mammals found in the grasslands and woodlands included Common Zebra, Giraffe, Warthog, Waterbuck, Kirk’s Dik-dik and numerous troops of Olive Baboons, while the forests held Harvey’s Duiker and the diminutive Suni.

  • 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.

  • Uganda: Comprehensive Custom Trip Report
    UGANDA: COMPREHENSIVE CUSTOM TRIP REPORT 1 – 17 JULY 2018 By Dylan Vasapolli The iconic Shoebill was one of our major targets and didn’t disappoint! www.birdingecotours.com [email protected] 2 | TRIP REPORT Uganda: custom tour July 2018 Overview This private, comprehensive tour of Uganda focused on the main sites of the central and western reaches of the country, with the exception of the Semliki Valley and Mgahinga National Park. Taking place during arguably the best time to visit the country, July, this two-and-a-half-week tour focused on both the birds and mammals of the region. We were treated to a spectacular trip generally, with good weather throughout, allowing us to maximize our exploration of all the various sites visited. Beginning in Entebbe, the iconic Shoebill fell early on, along with the difficult Weyns’s Weaver and the sought-after Papyrus Gonolek. Transferring up to Masindi, we called in at the famous Royal Mile, Budongo Forest, where we had some spectacular birding – White-spotted Flufftail, Cassin’s and Sabine’s Spinetails, Chocolate-backed and African Dwarf Kingfishers, White-thighed Hornbill, Ituri Batis, Uganda Woodland Warbler, Scaly-breasted Illadopsis, Fire-crested Alethe, and Forest Robin, while surrounding areas produced the sought-after White-crested Turaco, Marsh Widowbird, and Brown Twinspot. Murchison Falls followed and didn’t disappoint, with the highlights being too many to list all – Abyssinian Ground Hornbill, Black-headed Lapwing, and Northern Carmine Bee-eater all featuring, along with many mammals including a pride of Lions and the scarce Patas Monkey, among others. The forested haven of Kibale was next up and saw us enjoying some quality time with our main quarry, Chimpanzees.

  • Kenyan Birding & Animal Safari Organized by Detroit Audubon and Silent Fliers of Kenya July 8Th to July 23Rd, 2019
    Kenyan Birding & Animal Safari Organized by Detroit Audubon and Silent Fliers of Kenya July 8th to July 23rd, 2019 Kenya is a global biodiversity “hotspot”; however, it is not only famous for extraordinary viewing of charismatic megafauna (like elephants, lions, rhinos, hippos, cheetahs, leopards, giraffes, etc.), but it is also world-renowned as a bird watcher’s paradise. Located in the Rift Valley of East Africa, Kenya hosts 1054 species of birds--60% of the entire African birdlife--which are distributed in the most varied of habitats, ranging from tropical savannah and dry volcanic- shaped valleys to freshwater and brackish lakes to montane and rain forests. When added to the amazing bird life, the beauty of the volcanic and lava- sculpted landscapes in combination with the incredible concentration of iconic megafauna, the experience is truly breathtaking--that the Africa of movies (“Out of Africa”), books (“Born Free”) and documentaries (“For the Love of Elephants”) is right here in East Africa’s Great Rift Valley with its unparalleled diversity of iconic wildlife and equatorially-located ecosystems. Kenya is truly the destination of choice for the birdwatcher and naturalist. Karibu (“Welcome to”) Kenya! 1 Itinerary: Day 1: Arrival in Nairobi. Our guide will meet you at the airport and transfer you to your hotel. Overnight stay in Nairobi. Day 2: After an early breakfast, we will embark on a full day exploration of Nairobi National Park--Kenya’s first National Park. This “urban park,” located adjacent to one of Africa’s most populous cities, allows for the possibility of seeing the following species of birds; Olivaceous and Willow Warbler, African Water Rail, Wood Sandpiper, Great Egret, Red-backed and Lesser Grey Shrike, Rosy-breasted and Pangani Longclaw, Yellow-crowned Bishop, Jackson’s Widowbird, Saddle-billed Stork, Cardinal Quelea, Black-crowned Night- heron, Martial Eagle and several species of Cisticolas, in addition to many other unique species.
