Have You Seen Any of These Birds? (1 Viewer)

[Mysticete]

I think those should be judged on a case by case basis. Some possibly extinct birds just haven't had a serious search performed for them. Others are probably legitimately extinct.

 

[James Eaton]

I've seen Black-chinned Monarch this year and will be searching for a couple more of those species later on in the year...

[Larry Lade]

James, the Black-chinned Monarch has been moved to the "seen" list.

Larry,

You can also remove Brown-eared Pheasant, I've seen them at Xialongmen National Forest Reserve, Beijing and I suspect a certain member above is shortly to do the same elsewhere.

Anyone seen Dja River Warbler, perhaps should be added to the list....maybe not?
Glaucous Macaw is sadly probably extinct.

 

[Larry Lade]

Mark, I have added Dja River Warbler to the "not seen" list.
* from BirdLife International, this species is known from 8 widely separated locations (Gabon and Cameroon), but there are few records because of its difficult to get to habitat and poor knowledge of its call.

Brown-eared Pheasant is now in the "seen" list.

Glaucous Macaw amended to (assumed extinct) in "not seen" list.

 

[njlarsen]

You have coco's island finch (AKA cocos finch), but you could probably add to the not seen list:
Cocos Flycatcher
Cocos Cuckoo

all three from a small, distant island belonging to Costa Rica

Yes, it's an awkward one hence the prompt, one sadly missing from my Cameroon list despite many visits.

I think now easy on the standard circuit (eg Birdquest) in Gabon. Of course that still needs someone to have seen it on here. Has no-one seen Dwarf Olive Ibis? I find that amazing - 100s of people must have seen that by now...

cheers, a

You're probably right Alan with regards the DRW, quite a few Sao Tome species on the list, guess no-one that has been there has actually seen this thread yet. I never quite got over there despite working on bird conservation/education stuff, its on the 'almost made it' list.

 

[Alison Allen]

Hi Larry. You can move Usambara Akalat and Usambara Weaver to the seen list. I saw both at Lushoto in Tanzania in December 1998. Also Winifred's (aka Mrs Moreau's) Warbler seen in the Uluguru Mountains on the same trip.

And also Usambara Hyliota at Amani

 

[lewis20126]

How about adding Mayr's Honeyeater, Chestnut-shouldered Goshawk, Broad-billed Fairy-wren, Fly River Grassbird, Huon Melidectes - all very difficult NG species. I don't know anyone who has seen them. Several are gettable with effort, e.g. the Grassbird.

cheers, alan

 

[lewis20126]

A few difficult (but not impossible) species suggested to add to the not seen list from Africa:

Plumed Guineafowl, Chestnut-headed (Long-toed) Flufftail, Streaky-breasted Flufftail, Niam-niam Parrot, Neumann's Coucal, Maned Owl

cheers, alan

Mark, I have added Dja River Warbler to the "not seen" list.

I got Dja River Warbler in Gabon last year

Chris

Just noticed you'd already moved it :-C

I would like to get some feedback on whether or not the "possibly, probably, maybe, etc." extinct species should be left on the list or deleted. I would appreciate all replies on this isssue. And then, if I can determine a consensus, I will act accordingly.

You may respond here or by a PM/email.

Thank you All.

Considering species are being "re-discovered" with embarrasing frequency I'd vote for leaving them on - just in case

My wife, Brenda, and I are currently in Kearney, Nebraska, to see the Sandhill Cranes. I will try to update the seen/unseen lists as time and computer access at the motel allow.

Oops, Sorry Larry, blame Al

I've seen Plumed Guineafowl in southern Cameroon. Heard lugens and saw movement but not listed.

Plumed Guineafowl, Chestnut-headed (Long-toed) Flufftail, Streaky-breasted Flufftail, Maned Owl

cheers, alan

Good list Al, all occur in Cameroon but the last three certainly not easy!

 

[Shantanu]

Ohh.. I misunderstood the thread

For world, I would like to add, pink-headed duck (If not added yet) and jerdon's courser.
