Have You Seen Any of These Birds? (3 Viewers)

Do you have an actual scientific name to go with Snoring bird?

It's first mentioned a few posts back Mysticete - it has a few names but known as Snoring Rail in Opus - Aramidopsis plateni. I had to do a bit of research to find it LOL.
 
yeah however I am not convinced that the poster's "snoring bird" and the aforementioned Snoring Rail are the same thing
 
I am researching this whole Kiwi species thing and will try to get it sorted.

It would appear to me that currently there are five species of Kiwi.

North Island Brown (A. mantelli)
Okarito Brown (A. rowi)
Southern Brown (A. australis)
* The Stewart Island Southern Brown (A. a. lawryi) is a subspecies of the Southern Brown
Great Spotted A. haastii)
Little Spotted (A. owenii)

** I think it would be wise not to include subspecies into the lists, so Chlidonias, it looks like I will probably be moving the Steward Island Southern Brown Kiwi you saw to the seen list as Southern Brown Kiwi.

No point in adding any Kiwis to the not seen list (if that is suggested). Plenty of folk have seen most of them and I've seen the three on South island for example. The only birds that may worth adding at some of the more difficult Chatham endemics and I recall someone on here has seen all of those I think?

cheers, alan
 
Both Chatham Island Snipe and Robin are listed as seen, which I would assume would be the two tougher endemics to those islands...

that is correct, but as lewis20126 says, not really any point putting them on the list because all have been commonly seen (although I haven't managed to see the darn great spotted kiwi yet)
 
In lieu of the recent posts here I will not put any of the various species of Kiwi on the lists. Thanks to all of you for your comments.

* Currently there are 208 species on the "Not seen" list and 204 on the "Seen" list.

Just don't mention the bloody pigeon...

As I was on SE I didn't get the parakeet either...not enough time to get back out there and do a second month...

Alan, which of the "more difficult Chatham endemics" would you suggest that I put on the "Not seen" list?

How about these bird species for the 'not seen' list?:

Manus Fantail
New Britain Thicketbird
Bougainville Thicketbird
Guadalcanal Thicketbird
New Britain Thrush
Bougainville Thrush
Guadalcanal Thrush
Mountain Starling
Royal Parrotfinch

Species added today to the "Not seen" list.

Forbes' Parakeet (by Alan)

and these (suggested by Carlos)
Bougainville Thicketbird
Bougainville Thrush
Guadalcanal Thicketbird
Guadalcanal Thrush
Manus Fantail (Carlos)
Mountain Starling (Aplonis santovestris)
New Britain Thicketbird
New Britain Thrush
Royal Parrotfinch

Carlos, I assume that the Mountain Starling you mention is Aplonis santovestris, since the Pohnpei Mountain Starling (Aplonis pelzelni) is already on the "Not seen" list.
 
Larry et al., happily have to say you have now to remove the only puffbird you have in the non-seen list and move it to the seen list... we got Sooty-capped Puffbird (Bucco noanamae) last week in the Antioquia chocoan region of Uraba... AMAZING bird!... yet processing photos and videos but here I attach a snapshot from my camera screen from the field.... cool cool endemic! ;-)

Yes, the Mountain Starling in Vanuatu -- not the possibly extinct one in Micronesia.

Carlos

The one on Pohnpei is probably still extant but - thick forest on nearly vertical slopes with almost daily monsoon-type rain, no wonder I 'dipped' ( and swore a lot ) last year. ;(

These are fairly easy on the slopes of the Tien Shan range around the Astronomical Observatory above Almaty in Kazakhstan, which is on the itinerary of pretty much all the birding trips to this country, so I doubt I'll be the only one on BF to have seen them.

How about Kinglet Calyptura!

James

Been last year in the aera, and search for one day. Sadly I could not found the bird.

I thought I'd attempt to approach this in a slightly more structured way, so here's a list from www.bubo.org of all species which no listers have on their Clements World list, and which are not already in Larry's list, as far as I can tell (although some of them will be there under different names, no doubt). I would guess that there will be some genuine additions to Larry's list amongst this lot, as well as many that will have been seen by at least one contributor. You'll be saying I've taken all of the fun out of this now.
