Kibale Forest Bird Checklist


(courtesy Colin Chapman 9/30/98)

This list is based on an original by J.P. Skorupa. Species numbers refer to species account numbers in Mackworth-Praed & Grant, series II (to the left of the slash), and to the page number of species accounts in Williams & Arlott (to the right of the slash). Some birds are not covered in either; in such cases the species number is followed by 'W', indicating a species account in Mackworth-Praed & Grant, series III. Multiple numbers indicate that several formerly recognized species are now generally lumped as conspecifics.
