    Anaplectes

    Good to find that at least few more jubaensis apparently were described since 1920. It is still a mistery to me why this beautiful ‘least concern’ species is so seldom photographed and in literature -if depicted at all- adult breeding males only. The question is what females and/or juveniles...

    Anaplectes

    Thank you for your contributions. The 1922 bird collected by van Zomeren was new to me. I am still surprised there are none or very few younger records of this species. "Anaplectes jubaensis is treated as a subspecies of Anaplectes rubriceps" and for that reason I guess nearly all search...

    Trogoniformes

    Hi, I've been searching for Trogon gigas for quite some time now and this is what I found out: As far as I know the specimens described by LeVaillant (quote above) are the only known specimens of Trogon gigas. The whereabout's of the specimens from Gevers (Rotterdam) and Carbintus (the Hague)...

    Nice capture! What intriges me here are de 'hair like' feathers at the back of it's head. The are called 'Philoplumes' and are found in a wide range of bird families. The occur in adult males, females and also in juveniles. The question is: why are they there? Regards

    Comment by 'rupicola' in media 'Chestnut Weavers'

    Hi everybody, I don't want to spoil the fun here, but these little beauties are no Chestnut Weavers. Actualy they are not even Ploceus. You are looking at Passer eminibey, Chestnut Sparrows. The bird on the bottom left is a male in breeding plumage! So please don't wait for the black...
