Hi, Eremita,
Yes I did visit PNG once (quite a long time ago). I only had a few days at Boroko and in Milne Bay Province and didn't have an adequate field guide so I only identified about 60 species.... but was glad to see Raggiana BoP and Papuan Hornbill. I think your estimate of 200 species is rather on the low side. "Birds of the World: a checklist" by James F Clements gives the no. of species for "New Guinea" as 736, including 330 endemics. Cheers, Ken
