milestone 38 | Papua New Guinea 2022 | families 237-244/250
Posted onBird Families of the World holly grail - New Guinea!
Most of New Guinea’s 7 endemic bird families member seen only on the highlands. Tari Gap area is less accessible than legendary Kumul Lodge and trails, but it seems that birding there is more productive. My wish list included also the non-endemic Boatbills which have a representor in north-east Australia. Some finding hints:
- Blue-capped Ifirta seen on mossy trees in a few locations in Tari area, sometimes a few birds together
- Tit Berrypecker and Crested Berrypecker: Tit BP. seen just up above the canopy. Crested BP seen once or twice by others.
- Wattled Ploughbill was co-operative for a few minutes on our first day, later was much harder
- Several species of Berrypeckers and Longbills seen in both highlands and lowlands sites. Fan-tailed BP is probably the easiest to photograph.
- Mottled Berryhunter seen on fruiting trees a few time in Tari area.
- Satinbirds – The long lasting Crested Satinbird which was seen in the Kumul feeders did not show up. Loria’s Satinbird heard in a few highlands locations, usually parching far up on tree tops.
- Melampittas – Lesser Melampitta heard in many places, including in Kumul lodge, but as a highly secretive bird, tough to seen and photograph.
- Boatbills – Black-breasted Boatbill was common and co-operative in the highlands. The non-endemic Yellow-breasted Boatbill seen one in lowlands.

Posted onTrying to cleanup Aussie land
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

Posted onThe most remote endemic bird family and the only one for Oceania
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.

Posted onIntroduction for down under birds
My first experience with Australasia birding produced a good list of Australian & Australasia families. The following Australian stated visited: New South Wales, Queensland and Northern Territory. I’ll mention just 3 families in details: Cassowaries and Emu – Southern Cassoary seen near Cassowary House, Kuranda. Logrunners – Australian Logrunner at Lamington National Park. Monotype Magpie Goose can be seen in many wet locations on north-east Australia. The Pelagic from Sydney contribute some tubenose ocean birds including some Albatrosses.
