contain a wealth of New Guinea bird data....

Just back from an excellent New Guinea trip, highlights being New
Guinea Harpy Eagle, and both Mountain and Wallace's Owlet-nightjar in
addition to the usual Barred Owlet-nightjar. Does anyone happen to
know if Feline Owlet-nightjar is ever seen in holes in hollow trees?
We also had confusion again about telling Papuan from Marbled
Frogmouth, the habitat in Casuarina groves at 1600 m was typical for
Papuan and I suspect Marbled is pretty limited to rainforest, but
other observers thought they were Marbled and we await photos which
will I hope show eye colour!
Good news- the entire archive of the New Guinea birdwatching journal
Muruk Vols 1-9 is now available as a free download at
sicklebillsafaris.com. There is a button called Muruk, click on this
and each volume shows up ready to download. I plan two more paper
editions to complete existing subscriptions to Vol 10, (Vol 10:1 Aug
2011 is currently at the printers), then we are switching to an on-
line format in a bid to widen circulation and generate more
contributions. The contributions over the past 30 years have been wide-
ranging and it has been a valuable collection point for data from a
still remarkably poorly known area.
