This group is sometimes treated as a subfamily withinin Alcedinidae (e.g. Schodde 1997d) but we follow Christidis & Boles (1994, 2008) in recognising it at the familial level. Order of species follows Christidis & Boles (2008). Genus Todiramphus Lesson Todiramphus Lesson, 1827: Mém. Soc. Hist. Nat.

Todirhamphus Salvadori, 1880: Ornitologia Papuasia Molucche 1: 468. Unjustified emendation. Todiramphus is now used for the Australasian and south-west Pacific kingfishers of this group, leaving Halcyon for the Afro-Asian species (e.g. Christidis & Boles 1994, 2008; Schodde 1997d). A molecular phylogeny supported this (Moyle 2006). Swainson (1821) figured and described the Micronesian kingfisher Todiramphus cinnamominus with a type locality of New Zealand, and Potts (1871) reported two further sightings. Subsequent workers have dismissed these as a mislabelling and mistaken identifications respectively (e.g. Finsch 1873).

Resident in New Zealand and Lord Howe Island (subspecies T. s. vagans), Norfolk Island (T. s. norfolkiensis), the Loyalty Islands (T. s. macmillani Mayr, 1940) and New Caledonia (T. s. canacorum Brasil, 1916).

Widespread throughout North and South Islands and Stewart Island / Rakiura—and on most offshore islands; also the Kermadec Island Group. Especially common and widespread in the North Island; least numerous in inland and southern areas of the South Island (Robertson, C. et al. 2007). There appears to be a movement in winter from inland high country and forest to lowland farmland and the coast (Taylor, R.H. 1966). Straggler to Chatham Islands (Miskelly et al. 2006). Poorly represented in Holocene fossil deposits. This could mean that the species colonised New Zealand relatively recently (Millener 1990), or that it was confined to coastal habitats before the major episode of Mäori deforestation 400–600 years ago (Holdaway et al. 2001: 136). .

  • KINGFISHERS by Glen Holland & Liz Romer Introduction
    KINGFISHERS By Glen Holland & Liz Romer Introduction: The kingfishers belong to the order Coraciiformes and include three families, the Alcedinidae, the Halcyonidae, and the Cerylidae. More than ninety species are distributed widely throughout the world. For this section I have concentrated on two African kingfisher species, one representing the fish eaters which are associated with, and dependent upon, aquatic habitats, and one representing the woodland kingfishers which feed largely on invertebrates and small vertebrates, and often live away from aquatic habitats. I have chosen two species with which I have had extensive experience to demonstrate the two different management techniques for this group of fascinating birds. The third group, described by Liz Romer of Currumbin Sanctuary, are the kookaburras. All the MALACHITE KINGFISHER Introduction: The malachite kingfisher Alcedo cristata is widespread in Africa. Few species can match or beat the beauty of these little jewels. They are true fishers and are found in pairs or perched singly on vegetation along riverbanks and lakes. Their call is a soft, high-pitched "tseep" made in flight. Management: Sexes are alike and surgical sexing is advised to ensure true pairs. These beautiful little kingfishers deserve an aviary to themselves featuring a small flowing stream which can be regularly stocked with fish, allowing visitors the opportunity to watch them fish. When a separate aviary cannot be provided, they are compatible with small seedeaters, sunbirds, and softbills such as white-eyes. Cyprus and other reeds should be planted along the edges of the water. In addition, a few exposed dead branches over the stream will provide ideal hunting perches.

  • Revised Recovery Plan for the Sihek Or Guam Micronesian Kingfisher (Halcyon Cinnamomina Cinnamomina)
    DISCLAIMER Recovery plans delineate actions which the best available science indicates are required to recover and protect listed species. Plans are published by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and sometimes prepared with the assistance of recovery teams, contractors, State agencies, and others. Recovery teams serve as independent advisors to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Recovery plans are reviewed by the public and submitted to additional peer review before they are approved and adopted by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Objectives will be attained and any necessary funds made available subject to budgetary and other constraints affecting the parties involved, as well as the need to address other priorities. Nothing in this plan should be construed as a commitment or requirement that any Federal agency obligate or pay funds in contravention of the Anti-Deficiency Act, 31 USC 1341, or any other law or regulation. Recovery plans do not necessarily represent the views nor the official positions or approval of any individuals or agencies involved in the plan formulation, other than the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Recovery plans represent the official position of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service only after they have been signed as approved by the Regional Director or Director. Approved recovery plans are subject to modification as dictated by new findings, changes in species status, and the completion of recovery actions. Please check for updates or revisions at the website addresses provided below before using this plan. Literature citation of this document should read as follows: U.S.

  • West Papua – Birds-Of-Paradise and Endemics of the Arfaks and Waigeo
    INDONESIA: WEST PAPUA – BIRDS-OF-PARADISE AND ENDEMICS OF THE ARFAKS AND WAIGEO 03 – 14 AUGUST 2022 03 – 14 AUGUST 2023 Wilson’s Bird-of-paradise is often considered one of the best-looking birds in the world! www.birdingecotours.com [email protected] 2 | ITINERARY Indonesia: West Papua – Arfak and Waigeo New Guinea is a geographic rather than political term that refers to the main island in the region. The western half of the island of New Guinea comprises the Indonesian provinces of West Papua (Papua Barat) and Papua, collectively once called West Irian or Irian Jaya; the eastern half of the main island of New Guinea comprises the country of Papua New Guinea. We will be based in West Papua for this exhilarating, small-group birding adventure. Aside from the large landmass of New Guinea, the New Guinea region includes numerous small islands (some part of Indonesia and others part of Papua New Guinea), and we will visit one of these areas: Waigeo, part of the Raja Ampat Archipelago in West Papua (also known as the Northwestern Islands). Approximately 680 bird species have been recorded from West Papua, from slightly more than 700 for the whole New Guinea region. Some 550 species are considered breeding residents, with 279 New Guinea endemics (found in Indonesia and/or Papua New Guinea) and at least an additional 42 endemics found only in West Papua. There are also over 115 Palearctic and Australian migrant species and a range of seabirds which spend some of their time in West Papua. This tour will begin in the town of Manokwari, situated on the north-eastern tip of West Papua's Bird's Head (or Vogelkop) Peninsula where we could get our tour started with the gorgeous Lesser Bird-of-paradise, this area is usually great for Blyth’s Hornbill and numerous fruit doves.

  • Growth and Development of Nestlings of White-Throated Kingfisher, Halcyon Smyrnensis (Linnaeus, 1758)
    J. Asiat. Soc. Bangladesh, Sci. 46(1): 71-80, June 2020 GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT OF NESTLINGS OF WHITE-THROATED KINGFISHER, HALCYON SMYRNENSIS (LINNAEUS, 1758) HABIBON NAHER*1 AND NOOR JAHAN SARKER2 1Department of Zoology, Jagannath University, Dhaka-1100, Bangladesh 2Department of Zoology, University of Dhaka, Dhaka-1000, Bangladesh Abstract The growth and development of the nestlings of white-throated kingfisher (Halcyon smyrnensis) showed that at the hatching day, the mean body weight was 14.6±1.0 g which gained up to 69.9±3.0 g during fledging. The mean length of the body, wing, beak, head, tarsus and feet were 59.4±12.4, 19.4±5.7, 3.1±1.2, 11.7±1.4, 8.5±1.8 and 17.3±3.6 mm, respectively at the hatching day and 203.5±14.1, 105.7±5.8, 40.4±1.3, 29.1±1.1, 14.9±0.4 and 29.8±0.7 mm, respectively during fledging day. The primaries, rectrices and the claw was started to grow from 3rd day hatching and grew up to 67.8±5.6, 27.7±3.4 and 5.2±0.2 mm, respectively during fledging time. Key words: Nestlings, White-throated, Kingfisher, Development, Hatching, Fledging day Introduction White-breasted or white-throated kingfisher (Halcyon smyrnensis) is a very common resident bird of various habitats, mostly in the plains of open country with trees, electric wires and other perches (Ali et al. 2010).
