The Avifauna of Mt. Karimui, Chimbu Province, Papua New Guinea, Including Evidence for Long-Term Population Dynamics in Undisturbed Tropical Forest
Ben Freeman & Alexandra M. Class Freeman 30 Bull. B.O.C. 2014 134(1) The avifauna of Mt. Karimui, Chimbu Province, Papua New Guinea, including evidence for long-term population dynamics in undisturbed tropical forest Ben Freeman & Alexandra M. Class Freeman Received 27 July 2013 Summary.—We conducted ornithological feld work on Mt. Karimui and in the surrounding lowlands in 2011–12, a site frst surveyed for birds by J. Diamond in 1965. We report range extensions, elevational records and notes on poorly known species observed during our work. We also present a list with elevational distributions for the 271 species recorded in the Karimui region. Finally, we detail possible changes in species abundance and distribution that have occurred between Diamond’s feld work and our own. Most prominently, we suggest that Bicolored Mouse-warbler Crateroscelis nigrorufa might recently have colonised Mt. Karimui’s north-western ridge, a rare example of distributional change in an avian population inhabiting intact tropical forests. The island of New Guinea harbours a diverse, largely endemic avifauna (Beehler et al. 1986). However, ornithological studies are hampered by difculties of access, safety and cost. Consequently, many of its endemic birds remain poorly known, and feld workers continue to describe new taxa (Prat 2000, Beehler et al. 2007), report large range extensions (Freeman et al. 2013) and elucidate natural history (Dumbacher et al. 1992). Of necessity, avifaunal studies are usually based on short-term feld work. As a result, population dynamics are poorly known and limited to comparisons of diferent surveys or diferences noticeable over short timescales (Diamond 1971, Mack & Wright 1996). -

Darwin and Northern Territory (06/22/2019 – 07/06/2019) – Birding Report
Darwin and Northern Territory (06/22/2019 – 07/06/2019) – Birding Report Participants: Corey Callaghan and Diane Callaghan Email: [email protected] Overview: At an Australasian Ornithological Conference in Geelong, November 2017, they announced that the next conference would be in Darwin in 2019. I immediately booked it in the calendar that that is when I would do the typical Darwin birding trip. Diane was on board, and so we decided to do a solid birding trip before the conference in early July. There are some tricky ‘must-get’ birds here, and overall we did pretty well. We ended with 198 species for the trip, and got pretty much all the critical top end birds. Didn’t get any of the mangrove specialties (e.g., whistlers, and fantail), but I was still pleased with how we did. Highlights included all the finches that we saw, and the great spread of waterbirds. Chestnut Rail was also a highlight. When I went to the conference, I dropped Diane off to go hiking at Litchfield National Park, but before that we did a 10 day trip, driving out to Timber Creek and then back. Read below for day- by-day highlights, some photos, and various birding locations. Any hyperlinks should take you to the associated location and/or eBird checklists, which would provide precise coordinates and sometimes more detailed location notes. *Note: I follow the eBird/clements taxonomy, which differs in bird names from IOC. Blue-faced Honeyeater Day 1 (June 22nd, 2019): Flight from Sydney to Darwin We had an early flight from Sydney and got into Darwin at about 2:00 PM. -

Ultimate Papua New Guinea Ii
The fantastic Forest Bittern showed memorably well at Varirata during this tour! (JM) ULTIMATE PAPUA NEW GUINEA II 25 AUGUST – 11 / 15 SEPTEMBER 2019 LEADER: JULIEN MAZENAUER Our second Ultimate Papua New Guinea tour in 2019, including New Britain, was an immense success and provided us with fantastic sightings throughout. A total of 19 Birds-of-paradise (BoPs), one of the most striking and extraordinairy bird families in the world, were seen. The most amazing one must have been the male Blue BoP, admired through the scope near Kumul lodge. A few females were seen previously at Rondon Ridge, but this male was just too much. Several males King-of-Saxony BoP – seen displaying – ranked high in our most memorable moments of the tour, especially walk-away views of a male obtained at Rondon Ridge. Along the Ketu River, we were able to observe the full display and mating of another cosmis species, Twelve-wired BoP. Despite the closing of Ambua, we obtained good views of a calling male Black Sicklebill, sighted along a new road close to Tabubil. Brown Sicklebill males were seen even better and for as long as we wanted, uttering their machine-gun like calls through the forest. The adult male Stephanie’s Astrapia at Rondon Ridge will never be forgotten, showing his incredible glossy green head colours. At Kumul, Ribbon-tailed Astrapia, one of the most striking BoP, amazed us down to a few meters thanks to a feeder especially created for birdwatchers. Additionally, great views of the small and incredible King BoP delighted us near Kiunga, as well as males Magnificent BoPs below Kumul. -

Birds of Atauro Island, Timor-Leste (East Timor)
FORKTAIL 20 (2004): 41–48 Birds of Atauro Island, Timor-Leste (East Timor) COLIN R. TRAINOR and THOMAS SOARES Atauro island, Timor-Leste, lies between Timor,Wetar and Alor in the Lesser Sundas, but its avifauna was previously unknown. Five visits totalling 12 days in 2003–2004 resulted in 84 bird species being recorded. These included Timor Green Pigeon Treron psittacea (Endangered), Black Cuckoo Dove Turacoena modesta (Vulnerable) and four Near Threatened species: Pink-headed Imperial Pigeon Ducula rosacea, Beach Thick-knee Esacus neglectus, Malaysian Plover Charadrius peronii and Orange-sided Thrush Zoothera peronii.The avifauna appears to be most closely related to that of Timor, with the exception that the Olive-brown Oriole Oriolus melanotis is repre- sented by the Wetar race (finschi). INTRODUCTION remain. Tropical montane evergreen forest with a canopy at 15–20 m occurs on the slopes of Mount Atauro (or Kambing) is a small oceanic island that lies Manucoco. The island is dry with rainfall increasing 23.5 km north of mainland Timor, 21.5 km south-west with elevation.There is a wet season from November to of Wetar, 13.0 km south-west of Lirang (off Wetar) and March, with an expected mean annual rainfall of 38.0 km east of Alor (Fig. 1).The island is 22 km long, c.700–1,600 mm (nearby Dili averages 954 mm: 5–10 km wide, and has an area of 150 km2 (Monk et al. RePPProT 1989). 1997). Since 2002 it is part of the new nation of Approximately 8,000 people live on the island, with Timor-Leste (East Timor) administered through Dili a density of 53 people/km2 (G. -
Chapter Two – Our Community
Chapter Two – Our Community Mallacoota and District (MAD) Snapshot In this chapter we paint a broad picture of our community – our history and geography, our demography, our critical infrastructure and services. The table beneath provides a quick summary of MAD statistics and facts. MAD SNAPSHOT We are the most isolated community in Victoria The 87,500ha Croajingolong National Park is central to our diverse district. The Croajingolong National Park is home to 306 bird species, 52 mammal species and 26 reptile species, some of which are endangered. In 1972, the earliest fossil trackways of primitive tetrapods - the first backboned animals on land -were found preserved in the Genoa River Gorge, dating back 350 million years. Gabo Island is the largest known breeding colony of little penguins. We inhabit the indigenous nations of the Bidwal, Gunnaijurnai and Monero (Ngarigo) people. We are an aging community Nearly half our population (47.1%) is over 60. Our median age is 58, the median age of Victorians is 37 We live in a community with many vulnerable people One third lives alone 75% survive on either lowest or medium low income 22.3% have no internet connection 5.6% live with a disability 4.5% have no motor vehicle. As a result of the bushfires, around 1/8th (12.5%) of our homes were destroyed 10% of our potential workforce is unemployed. We have more part time workers (50%) than full time workers (40%) Our three main areas of employment are education (35%), accommodation (31%) and seafood (19%) We are a DIY population 39.9% of our population is involved in volunteer work compared with 19% of Australians Location Situated in the far east of Victoria, our district comprises the townships of Mallacoota and Genoa. -
