  • 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.

The study was designed in conjunction with the ongoing European Investor Outreach Program (EIOP), a MIGA initiative focused on the Western Balkans and funded through a grant from the Austrian Government. MIGA was established in 1988 to promote the flow of private foreign direct investment to developing member countries. MIGA offers political risk insurance coverage to eligible investors for qualified investments in developing member countries. MIGA also offers technical assistance programs to develop and implement effective strategies for attracting and retaining foreign direct investment. This hands-on technical assistance focuses on three primary areas: dissemination of information on investment opportunities and business operating conditions in developing member countries through online services; capacity building of the organizations and institutions involved in the promotion of foreign investment; and investment facilitation activities supporting the efforts of developing countries to identify and attract investment.
