Understorey birds of Cikaniki Research Station, Gunung Halimun-Salak National Park, West Java: Report of the Indonesian Bird Banding Scheme Training Programme
Get PDFThis report summarises findings from the first Training of Trainers (ToT) programme of the Indonesian Bird Banding Scheme (IBBS), which took place at Cikaniki Research Station (1000- 1100 m asl), Gunung Halimun-Salak National Park, during July 2009, and compares them with the results of previous banding studies conducted at the site by PPB-LIPI staff since 1996. Over the seven days from 13 to 19 July 2009, a total of 97 individuals representing 29 species were captured, and in most cases, banded. Juvenile birds belonging to 13 species comprised 28% of all individuals captured, and early primary moult was found on 32% of adults captured, suggesting that many species had recently completed breeding. The two most frequently captured species were the Little Spiderhunter Arachnothera longirostra and the Javan Fulvetta Alcippe pyrrhoptera. A comparison with previous banding studies between 1996 and 2002 at the same site shows that the latter species was repeatedly misidentified as the Fulvous-chested Jungle Flycatcher Rhinomyias olivacea, a species otherwise unknown for the park. This finding negates the conclusions of previous reports that R. olivacea is an important component of the understorey avifauna of the park at this altitude. Nine individuals, representing six species, were recaptured during the IBBS programme, including a Sunda Forktail Enicurus velatus that was at least 9 years old when re-trapped, and a Horsfield’s Babbler Malacocincla sepiaria that was at least 8.75 years old
Birds of the Rawa Aopa Watumohai National Park, South-East Sulawesi
Get PDFThe Rawa Aopa Watumohai National Park was visited between 9 September and 9 November 1995 and surveys conducted from a range of localities within the park. This constitutes the first study of the avi fauna of this large protected area. A total of 157 different species were recorded (155 to species level) including Mycteria cimerea, Macrocephalon maleo, Cacatua sulphurea and Zoosterops consobrinorum. An annotated list of selected species is presented and a full species list appears as an. appendix

A report on the wetland avifauna of South Sulawesi
Get PDFThe bird communities of the wetlands in South Sulawesi are discussed from results and observations made from an ecological survey undertaken over seven months in the province. The present status of the surveyed wetland habitats is listed. The bird communities observed in these wetlands are then reported and discussed. Annotations are made on selected species. Results from frequent surveys In the Tempe lake system indicate it to be a wetland habitat of international importance according to the Ramsar Convention, mainly because of large concentrations of birds including 10,000+ Garganey . 5,000 Glossy Ibis and 26,000 Great/Clamorous Reed-Warbler. New distribution recordings are made for the Maleo, the Woolly-necked Stork and the Grey-headed Fish-Eagle. Threats to the bird populations are discussed which include threats from pesticide use, live bird trading, hunting and loss of habitat
Jaegers in Indonesian waters
Get PDFAn overview is provided of records of the three species of Jaegers in the Indonesian region, Including some hitherto unpublished records of which descriptions are given. All records of Jaegers are from the months September-May. Stercorarlus parasiticus appears to be more common than previously thought and may sometimes have been confused with S. pomarinus. The relative rareness of S. longicaudus may be due to the pelagic character of the species. It is speculated that the El Nino Southern Oscillation of 1982-83 influenced the occurrence of Jaegers in Indonesian waters
