    gray/grey & colored/coloured

    Just an idea if possible. Is there any way to automate searches, so a search for "grey" also will include "gray" and "colored" also include "coloured" (and vice versa). A lot of birds have names that includes one of these words, and while one could start making redirect pages for them all, it...

    Nestbox Design? Pages for links?

    I just noticed that a completely new page, Nestbox Design, has been started: http://www.birdforum.net/opus/Nestbox_Design While the idea certainly is good, it appear that it, as of now, is a new page that was created only for a bunch of links. I wonder how mods feel about this and how that...

    Warbler in Belize

    Recently, the following photo was uploaded to the database: http://www.birdforum.net/pp_gallery/showphoto.php?photo=82960 I've already added some comments on why it isn't a Slate-headed Tody-tyrant (though I certainly understand the confusion), but I've removed the ID I suggested as I'd really...

    South African Cisticola

    South African Cisticola (link to photo) Recently, rudydbn posted the following photo of a Cisticola in the gallery: http://www.birdforum.net/pp_gallery/showphoto.php?photo=81397 It was photographed, quote: "near reeds and water in Eston which is 50Km inland from the coast of Durban" in...

    The following photos from Liberia were recently uploaded to the gallery; them being labeled as a Palm Swift (which it isn't): 1) http://www.birdforum.net/pp_gallery/showphoto.php/photo/78716/sort/1/cat/500/page/1 2)...

    Sulawesi Hawk(s)

    Two different Accipiter's posted by different photographers, though both from the island of Sulawesi, Indonesia: 1) http://www.birdforum.net/pp_gallery/showphoto.php/photo/67169/ 2) http://www.birdforum.net/pp_gallery/showphoto.php/photo/70561/ Anybody with an opinion about the ID of these...

    database: corrections & additions

    Babblers: The individual on this photo actually is a White-rumped Babbler (Turdoides leucopygia) and should be moved to that entry in the database: http://www.birdforum.net/pp_gallery/showphoto.php/photo/67246/sort/1/cat/500/page/1 Luckily, he later uploaded a photo of a real Cretschmar's...

    Araripe Manakin

    This astonishing species was only discovered in 1996 (described two years later) and is highly endangered. Total range is approx. 1 km2. While obviously highly endangered a conservation program has been started and they already made several great discoveries (e.g. the first known nest). Few...

    Database: Woodpecker ID mistake

    The Woodpecker on the following photo actually is a Pale-crested Woodpecker (Celeus lugubris) - reasons are given in my post to the photo: http://www.birdforum.net/pp_gallery/showphoto.php?photo=60374 http://www.birdforum.net/bird_view.php?bid=1239 Hence, it should be moved to the Pale-crested...

    Two corrections

    A bit of bustard confusion: nkgrey, Roddit, Tim Allwood and Xenospiza were all right, the bird on the following link is a female Eupodotus afraoides rather than an Eupodotis ruficrista (bill colour is yet another indication of the true ID): http://www.birdforum.net/bird_view.php?bid=6505 The...

    Brazilian Woodcreeper ID

    The Woodcreeper on this link: http://www.birdforum.net/pp_gallery/showphoto.php/photo/43747/sort/1/cat/all/page/1 The White-throated (Xiphocolaptes albicollis) and the Planalto Woodcreeper (Dendrocolaptes platyrostris) are a "fun" species pair. I have some doubts and am quite certain it...

    Blackbird & Toucan

    Blackbird Check my comments to the bird on this photo: http://www.birdforum.net/pp_gallery/showphoto.php?photo=43657 It is actually a Scrub Blackbird (Dives warszewiczi) and therefore should to be moved to that entry in the database rather than the current (and mistaken) Solitary Cacique...

    Galapagos Finch

    http://www.birdforum.net/bird_view.php?bid=5124 The Medium Tree Finch isn't found on the island of Santa Cruz and looks somewhat different (see my comment to the original photo): http://www.birdforum.net/pp_gallery/showphoto.php/photo/42170/sort/1/cat/last1/page/1

    Warbling-finches...

    By coincidence, I noticed a mistaken ID that also made it into the database: http://www.birdforum.net/pp_gallery/showphoto.php?photo=20722 ... is actually a Red-rumped Warbling-finch (Poospiza lateralis) which is new to the database. Furthermore, it is important to note that the subspecies...

    Raptor ID

    Recently, Mehd uploaded a photo of a raptor to the gallery. http://www.birdforum.net/pp_gallery/showphoto.php?photo=38975 The photo is from New Guinea, but it certainly isn't one of the localized species, so people from Australia and more or less everywhere else should have a fair chance...

    A single correction before I forget it... Just a single correction for the database before I forget it: http://www.birdforum.net/pp_gallery/showphoto.php?photo=38863 http://www.birdforum.net/pp_gallery/showphoto.php/photo/38865/sort/1/cat/500/page/1...

    A move and a new one

    As I am sure you are well aware, Mehd has been submitting some great photos... The move: http://www.birdforum.net/pp_gallery/showphoto.php?photo=37540 - is actually a Hair-crested Drongo (Dicrurus hottentottus), and therefore shoud be moved in the database. The new one: The following is a...

    Brazilian Tyrant; link to photo

    Stumpled over this photo yesterday: http://www.mangoverde.com/birdsound/picpages/pic116-133-4.html A nice photo, but also a somewhat annoying angle that leaves out several features I would have been pleased to see. I don't have more info on it than you can read; i.e. locality is Carlos Botelho...

    Forgotten and a wrong ID

    Been looking through the absolutely great photos by Mehd and discovered a wrong ID: http://www.birdforum.net/pp_gallery/showphoto.php/photo/34425/sort/1/cat/500/page/1 Note my final comment on it. Its actually a Yellow-bibbed Fruit-dove (Ptilinopus solomonensis). Hence it should be moved in...

    Confusion in Figbirds.

    Just noticed a bit of confusion among the Figbirds (Sphecotheres) http://www.birdforum.net/bird_view.php?bid=8570 This isn't a Timor Figbird. This is due to of a bit of taxonomic confusion. Most Australian fieldguides don't follow the splitting in this genus, however, the BirdForum list does...

    Why do birds mimic?

    In Tambapata in Peru I heard a dog... high in the canopy of a rainforest! Obviously this was no dog, but instead a Crested Oropendola, surely one of the most amazing singers of the world. But here goes: Why do birds mimic (other birds and sometimes even human sounds)? Has it been shown to have...

    Looking for photos of rare birds

    Finally rediscovered this site, after a (way to) long absence! Being a major birdphoto fan (though my own capabilities are somewhat limited), I am looking for photos (not drawings) of the following species. I am not sure they excist, but would be very pleased if I'm proven wrong in any of the...

    ¡Hola!

    Well, I just wanted to say hello! I am a young man (born 1980) with a big interrest in birds and birding. Normally I call Denmark "my home", but I am currently travelling extensively in South America (writing this email from Arequipa, Peru). An amazing experiance having seen things like Junin...
