Asian Country Comparisons

Information is derived from Sibley & Monroe checklists and bird distribution lists in Thayer's Birder's Diary - Version 2.05, supplemented by information from BirdArea from Santa Barbara Software. Endemic birds can ONLY be found in the specific country listed. Speciality birds, while not endemic, are those that can only be found in three or less countries in Africa. Information on endangered birds is derived from the IUCN Red List, Birdlife International, and the supporting data bases developed by Ian Patton, of Merlin Species Watcher. The endemic, endangered and speciality birds may be uncommon, may be extremely rare vagrants, may be extirpated in a particular country or may only be present in migration. Links for each country will take you directly to the speciality bird information for that country. Use your browser's BACK button to return to this page.
