Maui birds checklist (1 Viewer)

[ehrodz]

I am familiar with various field guides of Hawiian birds but I can't seem to find a checklist of just the birds of Maui. Any body know of one on the internet that I can make a copy of? Thanks.

I have been to Maui and have that same book you might have. I believe in the book it will state what / where the birds are (on which island) but I have never seen a list just for maui. I wonder if there is an Audubon Society in Hawaii? There must be....Post if you find one, will ya? jim

Hi imans,

Yes, there is an Audubon Society in Hawaii. They(it?) have a good, very informative website. But it does not include checklists for each island. They also publish a bird guide("Hawiian Birds") which I have ordered. I'll let you know if I run into a Maui checklist.

You can change the taxonomic list it is based on.

Thanks, Niels. Just what I needed.

I've been looking at the Avibase birdlist of Maui birds that Niels found for me. It includes one extinct species and a couple that are listed as extirpated. Does extirpated mean birds that do not exist in Maui but exist somewhere else or what? Thanks.

That is a usage that seemed quite common in a google search and is now reflected in the Opus dictionary. My dictionary (book) used a completely different definition coming probably from physiology research.

Yes, however some of these will be extinct overall by now. The 'akepa is the one example I can think of among forest birds - now extirpated from Maui, but still exists on Hawai'i. (though it's possible the former Maui 'akepa will eventually be made a separate species)

If you're not aware of it already, the excellent new publication The Birds of the Hawaiian Islands: Occurrence, History, Distribution, and Status by Robert L. Pyle and Peter Pyle is available at http://hbs.bishopmuseum.org/birds/rlp-monograph/

Hi
There is now a Maui checklist on my website - www.printablebirdchecklists.com.

Follow this link.. http://www.printablebirdchecklists.com/8-RegionalLists.html

Scroll down to the United States and you'll find it under Hawaii. It's available in alphabetical or Taxonomic sequence.

If you need any other checklists that are not listed let me know.

IIRC, most or all silverbills here are African.
Chestnut munia is missing, or under a different name? Also, Java sparrow? Waxbills? Possibly shama.

Hi
Thanks for the update. The reference I'm using is probably a little out of date (Pratt, Bruner & Berrett). If you can confirm any other missing sp's please let me know and I will add them to the lists. The Silverbill was listed in the reference with the incorrect scientific name so this has been amended to the correct one after reading the text! I've also added Chestnut Munia and Java Sparrow.

Your reference may have been from before warbling silverbill was split. I don't know anything about the aliens on Maui, but just checked a couple internet sites.
