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.

Birding the eighth continent

Project progress - Bird Families of the World 208/250
83%

Although Madagascar is an island, its unique biodiversity and landscapes title it “the eighth continent”.  Some information about species seen of the 5 endemic bird families:

Mesites: White-breasted Mesite at Ankarafantsika National Park. Subdesert Mesite at Mosa spiny forest park, Ifaty.

The triple call of monotype Cuckoo-Roller heard at a few locations, but seen best at Ankarafantsika National Park.

Ground-Rollers:  Pitta-like Ground-Roller seen first in Bemanevika. Both Scally Ground-Roller & Short-legged Ground-Roller at Ranomafana National Park. Rufous-headed Ground-Roller at Mantadia National Park. Long-tailed Ground-Roller at  Mosa park, Ifaty.

Asities: Velvet Asity at Ranomafana National Park. Schlegel’s Asity at Ankarafantsika National Park. Sunbird Asity at Bemanevika.

Malagasy Warblers: 8 out of 11 species of this family seen in different locations. One of the most desierd one is Appert’s Tetraka at Zombitse-Vohibasia National Park.

Although Vangas are now part of the Afrotropical family of Vangas, Helmetshrikes, and Allies, in the past they considered separate family endemic to Madagascar. So, I’ll just mention that many Vanga species seen at different locations. Our constrains did not allow us to visit the north-east area (Masoala).  Other families to be mentioned: Flufftails – Slender-billed Flufftail & Madagascar Flufftail. Buttonquail seen in Africa, Asia and Australia, but it seems that Madagascar Buttonquail is a bit more cooperative. The tiny island of Nosy Ve near Toliara gave us good options to take photos of Crab-Plover and Red-tailed Tropicbird.

Birds of Pearl Of Africa

Project progress - Bird Families of the World 200/250
80%

The Term – Uganda the Pearl of Africa become popular by Winston Churchill in 1908, and I can add “the Pearl of African birds”. Mabamba swamp, not too far from Entebbe international airport,  is the best place for the amazing monotype Shoebill.

198. Family #71: Shoebill (Balaenicipitidae) | Shoebill

Bwindi Impenetrable National Park was the place for African Broadbill. Semuliki National Park was the location for the third ticked family, Hyliotas (Yellow-bellied Hyliota). 

Albertine Rift endemics species can be seen in the east parks.
