    New monograph on bowerbirds

    Remember Michel Ottaviani who wrote a book on birds of paradise a few years ago ? He has just published a companion volume on the bowerbirds: Les Oiseaux á berceaux Histoire naturelle et photographies. It has over 200 splendid photographs most of which I have never seen before. Some are quite...

    William Cooper's Pigeons and Doves of Australia

    There's already a post in the book section about this upcoming monograph, but since it has so much to do with art I thought you would appreciate a link in this forum too: http://www.vimeo.com/33327840

    Arfak Astrapia photographed

    We had to wait for a while but a photo of a male Arfak Astrapia has just been posted on surfbirds.com, in the world rarity photo section. It doesn't show the bird at its best but at least it's a photo, the very first published of the species.

    Neotropical rediscoveries

    I've just read an article in the publication "Recent Avian Extinctions" in which three very interesting Brazilian/Colombian rediscoveries were mentioned: Bahia Tapaculo found at Itubará and Una Biological Reserve (F.Olmos & P.C.Lima in litt. 2006); Recurve-billed Bushbird and Chestnut-bellied...

    Discoveries on Bioko

    Hot on the trail of the Papua findings comes the news of numerous new life forms found during the first exploration of the Caldeira de Luba, an enormous forested crater on the African island of Bioko. A Spanish expedition found 27 new species of vertebrates but no mention was made on what kinds...

    Of feathers and Phoenix

    (The following piece is written in response to an earlier post placed by Dimitris in the hotly debated "Phoenix ?" thread. It seemed like a good idea to me not to drag up that one again but to start a new thread instead.) Dimitris, This is a résumé of what I've gathered about Bird of Paradise...

    Kalinowski's Tinamou not a valid species

    A recent study done by Niels Krabbe and Thomas Schulenberg has shown that the Kalinowski's Tinamou, known from very few specimens, is merely a slightly aberrant exemple of the Ornate Tinamou (Nothoprocta ornata branickii). The latest so called extremely rare bird debunked by taxonomical research.

    Long-tailed Paradigalla by Mehd Halaouate

    I know this is a very predictable choice for me to make but even in many objective ways this is a most impressive photograph. It shows at least one feature which is undescribed in literature (the nest) and I think the yellow, fleshy (?) surrounding of the eye is another. Furthermore it is the...

    Still more world rarities

    I've just discovered some great articles on an undescribed Cnipodectes sp. photographed by Joe Tobias in Bolivia in November 2004, a search for the Imperial Woodpecker after the last sighting this year and on the rediscovery of the Koepckes Helmeted Curassow with two photographs. You find them...

    What bird will be rediscovered ?

    Over the last few years we've been spoilt by some great rediscoveries. After the Ivory Bill and, who knows, the Imperial WP I expect almost anything to show up in the foreseeable future. So, my question to you all is what "extinct" species do you think will be found again or what species would...

    Handbook Birds of Asia

    In the nineties we were promised the publication of a ten volume series on the birds of Asia. Almost 2006 and still not even the announcement of the first volume. Does anyone know how far advanced this series is and when we can expect volume 1 ?

    Lowland Akalat subspecies

    We've all browsed through HBW Vol.10 by now, right ? Every time I receive a volume I check it with my world checklist (J.F.Clements, fifth edition, 2000) which I update as much as I can. When I checked the entry of the Lowland Akalat in Clements I found a personally written addition of a new...

    Cuban Ivory Bill

    Does any one have any substantial information on the Cuban Ivory Bill ? Are there searches going on or are there new sightings made by residents ?
