Cleanup Afrotropic at East Usambara Mountains

Project progress - Bird Families of the World 234/250
94%

My main reason of joining the first legs of “Tanzanian Endemics Cleanup” expedition, which includes my friends Noam Shany, Dubi Shapiro and Philip Johnson, was one bird. Dapple-throat and Allies (Modulatricidae) is the most elusive and desired bird family endemic to Afrotropic, and out of its three cryptic members, Spot-throat is the easiest. While birding on West Usambara forest trails in Magamba, the bird calls can be heard in a few places, but seeing it, nevertheless taking a photo, requires efforts and some luck. So, on the first day the status was “heard only”, on the second day we succeed to have a rapid look on it silhouette while it was flying shortly between two close bushes. Luckily, on the third day, we were able to get this photo. More endemics from Magamba like Usambara Weaver mentioned on the trip list.

234. Family #221: Dapple-throat and Allies (Modulatricidae) |  Spot-throat

Other East Arc Mountain forests places visited: South Pare Mountain for South Pare White-eye and East Usambara (Amani) for birds like Usambara Eagle Owl, Usambara Hyliota, Green-headed Oriole and few others.

Back to Arusha area, I visited Lark Planes with Beesley’s Lark as key species, Mererani road and Kiligolf.

IBISBILL! now I got you!

Project progress - Bird Families of the World 233/250
93%

Jim Corbett national park lays on the Himalayan foothills, and winter hosting my target for this trip: The monotype family of Ibisbill. Visit Uttarakhand is relatively easy, and the park located a few hours drive from New Delhi international airport.  The Ibisbill located outside the park, near its traditional spot on the river bank beside Girija Devi Temple.

233. Family #042: Ibisbill (Ibidorhynchidae) | Ibisbill

My first attempt, 2 years earlier, on the streams of Nameri national park failed (on the remote Indian state Assam), probably due a wrong timing: (seen until around March 27th, we arrived on the 30th). This was also a good opportunity to improve the photos of Crested Treeswift, and to take Common Iora photo which was seen in the past, but not photographed.

# World Bird Families

milestone 33 | Ecuador 2019 | families 229-232/250

Posted on

Cleanup South America! (in deep mud)

Project progress - Bird Families of the World 232/250
93%

Ecuador represents a variety of Neotropical habitats which allows birder to tick many Neotropical bird families. From the Choco on the western Andean slope, via chilly Paramo on Andean mountain with picks over 4000 m altitude, down to the humid hot mighty Amazon plains. Smaller in size relatively to other south American nations, distances between these various birding hotspots can be shorter, although can turn instantly into unreachable due heavy rains or other nature forces. Mindo area: I ticked the Oilbird in Cueva de los Tayos (on private property, coordination with the owner required) , and Red-headed Barbet as well as other American Barbets on few bird feeders around. On the way to Coca and the jungle, got my first Hoatzin.

229. Family #25: Oilbird (Steatornithidae) | Oilbird

230. Family #98: New World Barbets (Capitonidae) | Red-headed Barbet (female) 

231. Family #30: Hoatzin (Opisthocomidae) | Hoatzin

The main effort was on the muddy trails of the Amazon rain forest around Sani Lodge for the Gray-winged Trumpeter.

232. Family #35: Trumpeters (Psophiidae) | Gray-winged Trumpeter

Other families to be mentioned: Toucan-Barbet around Mindo, to complete this family ticked a few days earlier in Panama. Around Sani Lodge – Sunbittern and Potoos (Common Potoo).

Project progress - Bird Families of the World 228/250
91%

Bird families lister must stop either in Panama or Costa Rica for the monotype Talamanca mountain range endemic family of Wrenthrush. Other families ticked on this milestone can be found in other northern Neotropic countries. On the west leg of my trip in Volcán Barú, I ticked Wrenthrush and  Prong-billed Barbet (Toucan-Barbet family). 

225. Family #243: Wrenthrush (Zeledoniidae) | Wrenthrush

226. Family #99: Toucan-Barbets (Semnornithidae) | Prong-billed Barbet

Central Panama leg contributed two more monotype families: Sapayoa at Nusagandi and Rosy Thrush-Tanager at Metropolitan Natural Park, Panama City.

Mitrospingid Tanagers family can be mentioned in the area as well with  Dusky-faced Tanager.

# World Bird Families

Trying to cleanup Aussie land

Project progress - Bird Families of the World 224/250
90%

My second trip to Australia was an attempt to cleanup all missing families. Out of 7 families on my wish-list, 6 where seen & photographed. All seen in New South Wales and Victoria, so visiting West Australia on the trip’s second leg, just added new species.

I started with an endemic hard one: Scrub-birds – Rufous Scrub-bird on Gloucester Tops, NSW

219. Family #128: Scrub-birds (Atrichornithidae) | Rufous Scrub-bird

Next endemic – Bristlebirds – Eastern Bristlebird on Barren Grounds, NSW & Rufous Bristlebird on a few locations along the Great Ocean Road, VIC

220. Family #133: Bristlebirds (Dasyornithidae) | Rufous Bristlebird

Crusoe Reservoir near Bedigo, VIC contributed two new families: Australo-Papuan Bellbirds – Crested Bellbird & Owlet-nightjars – Australian Owlet-nightjar.

221. Family #144: Australo-Papuan Bellbirds (Oreoicidae) | Crested Bellbird

222. Family #26: Owlet-nightjars (Aegothelidae) | Australian Owlet-nightjar

Denilliquin, NSW area: The dipped family, Plains-Wanderer, was a great disappointment since the tour for it with Phil Maher scheduled almost a year earlier. We tried hard spotlighting for hours without success. The absence of rain for long time probably moved the birds to different areas. The good news –  I’ll need to visit Australia again! Anyhow, Denilliquin is now on project map with another Australian endemic family: Shrike-tit – Crested Shrike-tit.

223. Family #145: Shrike-tit (Falcunculidae) | Crested Shrike-tit

Last but not least: Quail-thrushes – Spotted Quail-thrush on Brisbane Ranges NP, VIC

224. Family #138: Quail-thrushes and Jewel-babblers (Cinclosomatidae) | Spotted Quail-thrush

# World Bird Families

milestone 30 | India 2018 | family 218/250

Posted on

Tiny hidden bird on the Himalayan foothills

Project progress - Bird Families of the World 218/250
87%

North-east India isolated states, Assam & Arunachal Pradesh host 2 target families: Ibisbill on the streams of Nameri NP, and Spotted Elachura at Eaglenest Wildlife Sanctuary. Unfortunately the Ibisbill left that year early (seen until around March 27th, we arrived on the 30th). Spotted Elachua was heard well in some locations and seen briefly a few times including above our tents in Lama camp (see photo), but not long enough to be photographed. 

Please notice that visiting Arunachal Pradesh requires special permit well in advance. So here come seen and not photographed family:

# World Bird Families

Wader families of the south of south

Project progress - Bird Families of the World 217/250
87%

Patagonia, the south end of both Argentina and Chile, serves as a preferred location for these two wader families. I choose Argentina particle reasons. Reserva Laguna Nimez at El Calafate was the spot for Magellanic Plover.

216. Family #38: Magellanic Plover (Pluvianellidae) | Magellanic Plover

Snowy Sheathbill found in a few locations, on shore cliffs near Puerto Madryn and on Valdes Peninsula, always in South American Sea Lion colonies.

217. Family #37: Sheathbills (Chionidae) | Snowy Sheathbill 

Two ancient families to be mentioned: Rheas – Lesser Rhea seen in many places while driving Patagonia. Tinamous – Elegant Crested-Tinamou is an exceptional member of this enigmatic family. While in most Neotropical habitats Tinamous are mainly heard and hardly seen, this member behaves more like a partridge on exposed grassland areas.

# World Bird Families

milestone 28 | New Caledonia 2017 | family 215/250

Posted on

The most remote endemic bird family and the only one for Oceania

Project progress - Bird Families of the World 215/250
86%

The only endemic family for Oceania and the most desired bird in New Caledonia is the flightless Kagu, which can be seen easily on Le Parc Provincial de la Rivière Bleue.  Entering the park requires a local guide, and we are happy to recommend on Isabelle Jollit from caledoniabirds.com which can also help with other local endemics. New Caledonia with few other islands is in the tiny biogeography region of Oceania. Due practical reasons, Oceana is included on this site maps and categories with the nearby Australasia region.

# World Bird Families

milestone 27 | USA 2017 | family 214/250

Posted on

The only reason for a bird families chaser to visit North America

Project progress - Bird Families of the World 214/250
86%

The only Nearctic endemic bird family is the monotype Olive Warbler. All other bird families in North America have at least one member who appears in other biogeography zone. So here I am, climbing up to Mount Lemmon pine forest area, raising surprisingly above the arid Tocson Arizona landscape, to tick this tiny beauty. Pine trees habitat occurred only in high elevation, but since this is a ski resort, a good road takes you to the top. Finding the tiny bird can take sometime, and I choose spring time while the bird is singing. Trip list includes also some species seen in NYC, mainly on Central Park.

# World Bird Families

Essential stop for Caribbean families: Hispaniola

Project progress - Bird Families of the World 213/250
85%

Hispaniola of the Greater Antilles is the best Caribbean destination for bird families. Two countries share this Island, and birding in Dominican Republic seems easier than in Haiti. Three endemic families: Palmchat monotype and Dominican Republic national bird, which is everywhere on the island, Hispaniolan Tanagers and Chat-Tanagers. Zapoten reserve on the west border of DR (Parque Nacional Sierra De Baoruco) is the best place for the more hard-to-get endemics. Out of 4 Hispaniolan Tanagers I got Black-crowned Palm-Tanager already in Santo Domingo Botanical Gardens, White-winged Warbler and Green-tailed Warbler in Zapoten. Western Chat-Tanager in Zapoten.

The two other families ticked on that trip, also in Zapoten, are Greater Antilles endemic families: Todies (out of 5 species 2 are in Hispaiola: Narrow-billed Tody & Broad-billed Tody) and Spindalises (Hispaniolan Spindalis). 

Another family to be mentioned: Tropicbirds – White-tailed Tropicbird at Santo Domingo east beach.
