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

[wintibird]

I've seen Black-capped Tinamou quite well last summer at Amazonia Lodge in Manu, Peru. Rufous-vented Ground Cuckoo was also seen twice (a first for our guide as well).

I will put these on the "not seen" by anyone posting to this thread:
Red-billed Ground-Cuckoo
Rufous-vented Ground-Cuckoo
Rufous-winged Ground-Cuckoo

Black-capped Tinamou
Black Tinamou
Berlepsch's Tinamou
Gray-legged Tinamou

I've seen, briefly, and recorded Gray-legged Tinamou around Mitu, in the Colombian border with Brazil.

I will move these from the "not seen" to the "seen" list:
Black-capped Tinamou

These remain on the "not seen" list:

* Any more suggestions for bird species to be added to the "not seen" list (by anyone visiting this thread)?

Hi

I have heard and very briefly seen Streaky-breasted Flufftail here in Harare earlier this year. It is a regular, if somewhat scarce breeding migrant.

Ivory billed pileated Wood pecker.... I so hope they are not extinct!

Ivory billed pileated Wood pecker.... I so hope they are not extinct!

* The Ivory-billed Woodpecker is already on the "not seen" list (but it is considered by most to be extinct)!

* Nick, I have moved the Streaky-breasted Flufftail from the "not seen" to the "seen" list.

Thanks!

I have seen Sira Tanager. Though it's not on the list, I will add that I have also seen Horned (Sira) Curassow.

[Larry Lade]

Jacob, I have moved the Sira Tanager from the "not seen" to the "seen" list.

1. Someone visiting this thread suggests a species to me to put on the "not seen" list.
2. Someone visiting this thread sees a particular bird on the list which they have seen and post on this thread the fact that they have seen the bird .
3. Then I move the bird on the "not seen" list to the "seen" list

Larry,
I noticed you have listed "* Perija Brush-Finch (Arremon perijanus) * Proposed split".

It is already accepted (http://www.museum.lsu.edu/~Remsen/SACCprop468.html & http://www.museum.lsu.edu/~Remsen/SACCprop487.html)

You can move it to the SEEN list as I got it in my time up in the mountain back there in 2003!...
lovely one! (a nice shot here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/amcuervo/6037285880/)

I guess you will be also moving the Sooty-capped Puffbird soon to the SEEN list ;-)

will keep you posted!!

Diego.

 

[Larry Lade]

Diego, I am glad you got the Perija Brush-Finch, Arremon perijanus. I will move it to the "Seen List".

* I will keep an eye out for when you get the Sooty-capped Puffbird.

How about Sulawesi Cuckoo (Cuculus crassirostris) and Dusky Friarbird (Philemon fuscicapillus)? The former is heard regularly at Lore Lindu NP at night, but I don't know if anyone has managed to chase a calling bird down. The latter is very similar to Halmahera Oriole by sight, and may only be found on Morotai.

I've seen Sulawesi hawk-cuckoo

And so have I; excellent views of a bird feeding low down on caterpillars at Dumoga Bone in 1992, found by Richard Rowland. Quiite why it has become so rare (even by voice now) seems to be a mystery.

cheers, alan

that's where I saw mine too (well, at Tambun), in 2009. I must admit that at the time I didn't know how sought after it was - I was just happy to see a cuckoo because cuckoo-sightings and I don't go together well!

I heard a singing Sulawesi Hawk-Cuckoo at the bottom of the Anaso track in April 2011. Most birders visit the island in Jul-Oct, and I wonder if they are generally silent then?

This was one of my most frustrating birding experience. I heard the bird singing in tall trees close to the track at dawn, and played a recording. This got an immediate response, with a hawk cuckoo flying across and landing in the mid canopy above my head to investigate.

When I finally got a good view...it was a Hodgson's. The Sulawesi Hawk-Cuckoo apparently had no interest in the recording.

 

[Larry Lade]

James, I have removed the Kofiau Monarch duplicate in the list.

Sulawesi Hawk-Cuckoo moved to the seen list.

Dusky Friarbird added to "not seen" list.

It's been ages since I looked at this thread and I've just noticed you've got Bonin Honeyeater on the 'not seen' List Larry. It's now Bonin White-eye and my latest ( :smoke: ) sighting was 13 March this year. Anyone who gets out to Haha-jima or Chichi-jima can't help but see them.

I think the reason it was on the list however is that getting out there isn't exactly a cakewalk
