Bird Species New To Science
This article describes bird species discovered since 1900. Before the 20th century, and into its early decades, the pace of discovery (and "discovery") of new species was fast; during this period, with numerous collecting expeditions into species-rich areas not previously visited by western ornithologists, up to several hundred new species per decade were being described. Many of these were of course not new to the local people, but since then, the pace has slowed, and new species are generally only being found in remote areas, or among cryptic or secretive groups of species. Nonetheless, several tens of species were described for the first time even during the 1990s. Considerable time can pass between discovery and publication, for a number of reasons. Individual countries particularly rich in species newly described during this period are: * Brazil * Colombia * Peru * Indonesia * Philippines A number of individuals have been particularly prolific in describing new species, such a ...

Xingu Screech Owl
The Xingu screech owl (''Megascops stangiae'') is a species of owl in the family Strigidae. It is found only in the Tapajos-Xingu and Xingu-Tocantins of Brazil. The holotype was collected in Serra dos Carajás. It is closely related to tawny-bellied screech owl in both morphology and genetics, but could be differed by its longer song pace. This species was described in 2021, and thus recognized in Avibase Avibase is an online taxonomic database that organizes bird taxonomic and distribution data globally.

Subantarctic Rayadito
The Subantarctic rayadito (''Aphrastura subantarctica'') is a species of bird in the family Furnariidae that is endemic to the Diego Ramírez Islands, an archipelago located in the southernmost extreme of Chile. Taxonomy Subantarctic rayadito individuals were formerly identified as belonging to the species ''Aphrastura spinicauda'' (thorn-tailed rayadito The thorn-tailed rayadito (''Aphrastura spinicauda'') is a species of bird in the family Furnariidae. It is found in temperate forests and subtropical dry shrubland south of 30°S. Some sources suggest it may formerly have occurred in the Falkl ...). However, the newly identified ''A. subantarctica'' has a larger body mass and shorter tails. In 2022, ''A. subantarctica'' was split off as a separate species from ''A. spinicauda'' by Ricardo Rozzi et al. (2022), on the basis of genetic, morphological, and behavioral evidence. Habitat While '' Aphrastura spinicauda'' lives in forested habitats, ''A. subantarctica'' lives in ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Meratus Blue Flycatcher
The Meratus blue flycatcher (''Cyornis kadayangensis'') is a species of Old World flycatcher closely related to the Dayak blue flycatcher (''Cyornis montanus''). The species is confined to the Meratus Mountains of Borneo, Indonesia, which are surrounded by degraded secondary woodland or converted land space. The species has a lighter blue color than the Dayak blue flycatcher on the upperparts and more whitish and with less red on the underparts. The species is confined to the Meratus Mountains of Borneo, Indonesia, which are surrounded by degraded secondary woodland. The species is monotypic: no subspecies In biological classification, subspecies is a rank below species, used for populations that live in different areas and vary in size, shape, or other physical characteristics (morphology), but that can successfully interbreed. Not all species ... are recognised. References {{taxonbar, from=Q112220729 Cyornis Endemic birds of Borneo Birds described in 2021 ...

Meratus White-eye
The Meratus white-eye (''Zosterops meratusensis'') is a species of bird in the white-eye family, Zosteropidae. The species was described in 2021 by the Indonesian ornithologist Mohammed Irham and his colleagues based on genetic, morphological, and vocal differences from other ''Zosterops'' white-eyes. It is endemic to the Meratus Mountains of Indonesian Borneo, where it has been observed on Mount Besar and Mount Karokangen. It inhabits the mid and lower storeys of closed-canopy montane forests at elevations between . It is a typical ''Zosterops'' white-eye, with deep olive-green upperparts, yellower underparts, a yellow stripe across the lores, and a distinctive bicoloured bill. Adults have a length of around and a mass of . Both sexes look alike. Most aspects of the Meratus white-eye's ecology are unknown. It has it has been seen in mixed-species foraging flocks with other insectivores. Its breeding is also poorly studied, but presumed juveniles have been seen in the se ...

Inti Tanager
The Inti tanager (''Heliothraupis oneilli''), also known as the San Pedro tanager, is a species of bird in the family Thraupidae. It is the only member of the genus ''Heliothraupis''. It is restricted to the lower Yungas of western Bolivia and southern Peru. Despite its striking coloration, call, and evolutionary distinctiveness, it was only described in 2021, and the bird's discovery and documentation to Western science only occurred during the prior two decades. On January 31, 2022, the South American Classification Committee of the American Ornithological Society (SACC) announced its formal addition to their South American species list.Remsen, J.

Satin Berrypecker
The satin berrypecker ''(Melanocharis citreola)'', is a species of passerine bird belonging to the family Melanocharitidae. It is endemic to the montane cloud forests of Western New Guinea and was first identified in the Kumawa Mountains. It is only the second species to be described in New Guinea in the last 80 years and the first endemic species from the region known as the Bird's Neck. The satin berrypecker is the sixth species to be described in the genus ''Melanocharis''. Based on the elevation of its discovery and the colors of its plumage, it was originally believed to be a close relative to the mid-mountain berrypecker, however genome-wide analysis revealed that it is a closer relative to the phenotypically dissimilar streaked berrypecker The streaked berrypecker (''Melanocharis striativentris'') is a species of bird in the family Melanocharitidae. It is found in Indonesia and Papua New Guinea. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forest and su ...
