    The CBR Checklist of Birds of China v1.0.1 (2010)

    Thanks, Wei Qian. That's good to know. Richard

    The CBR Checklist of Birds of China v1.0.1 (2010)

    China Bird Report Wei Qian, I have China Bird Report for 2003-2007, but the publication of Checklist v1.2 has reminded me that I've seen no announcements of CBR for 2008 or 2009 (previous reports were published in the year following the reporting year). www.chinabirdnet.org/report.html Do you...

    The CBR Checklist of Birds of China v1.0.1 (2010)

    Appendices 1-3 list additional species recorded only in disputed territories: eg, Nansha Archipelagos = Spratly Islands, South Tibet = Arunachal Pradesh. I suspect that it would be rather politically sensitive to provide maps of these claimed areas. ;) The CBR Checklist doesn't align with...

    Tibetan Grey Shrike Actually, one taxonomic conclusion of Olsson et al 2009 of direct relevance to the CBR Checklist is confirmation that Lanius sphenocercus giganteus ('Tibetan Grey Shrike') probably merits species rank... [free pdf download available from SMNH...

    The CBR Checklist of Birds of China v1.0.1 (2010)

    v1.1 Thanks, Wei Qian. The main taxonomic changes cf v1.0.2 (Mar 2010) affecting Palearctic species appear to be the recognition of Lanius phoenicuroides and L pallidirostris (although the latter could prove to be premature given the findings of Olsson et al 2009), and implementation of...

    The CBR Checklist of Birds of China v1.0.1 (2010)

    Red-faced Liocichla Well, although Collar & Robson 2007 (HBW12) suggests that phoenicea (uncertain), bakeri and ripponi occur in a N to S sequence in W Yunnan, it's (perhaps understandably) rather vague about where the transitions occur: "L. p. phoenicea – ...and adjacent N Myanmar and S...

    The CBR Checklist of Birds of China v1.0.1 (2010)

    Red-faced Liocichla I've only seen Red-faced Liocichla in Bhutan, so have no personal experience of the situation in China. But L. ripponi (incl ssp wellsi) is recognised by Collar & Robson 2007 (HBW12, and therefore also IBC), IOC & TIF. Collar & Robson 2007: "Differs from similar L...

    Paradoxornis split ...I guess you just wanted to save something good for us to look forward to next time. ;) Richard

    The CBR Checklist of Birds of China v1.0.1 (2010)

    Himalayan Buzzard I note that the CBR Checklist (also IOC, BLI and Cornell/Clements) continues to use the name refectus Portenko 1929; contra Rasmussen & Anderton 2005, Penhallurick & Dickinson 2008 and TIF, which instead use burmanicus Hume 1874...

    Daniel, they're the species numbers used in MacKinnon & Phillipps 2000 (which have until now been used in the annual China Bird Report). Richard

    The CBR Checklist of Birds of China v1.0.1 (2010)

    Thanks, Wei Qian. A very useful resource! [I've updated my Holarctic checklist accordingly – indications of splits recognised by China Ornithological Society now reflect CBR Checklist v1.0.1.] Richard
