@article{Verbelen_2014, title={First record of the Starry Owlet-Nightjar (Aegotheles tatei) in Indonesian New Guinea (Papua)}, volume={18}, url={https://kukila.org/index.php/KKL/article/view/450}, abstractNote={<p>The Starry Owlet-Nightjar <em>Aegotheles tatei</em>, also known as Spangled, Star-spotted or Rand&rsquo;s Owlet-Nightjar, is one of the least known birds of New Guinea&rsquo;s lowland rainforests. It was recognized as a distinct species as recently as 2000 and its vocalizations were first documented in 2008.&nbsp; Although hitherto all observations of the species were from Papua New Guinea, its presence in Papua (Irian Jaya) was predictable since the type locality is close to the Indonesian border.&nbsp; A 6-day targeted search for the Starry Owlet-Nightjar was undertaken in lowland forest along the Kali Muyu River. The first Indonesian record for this species was confirmed on 6 October 2012, when a bird was spotlighted and sound recordings of the song and the alarm call were obtained. According to local people, the species may be widespread in the area.</p&gt;}, number={1}, journal={KUKILA}, author={Verbelen, Philippe P.J.G.}, year={2014}, month={Nov.}, pages={10-16} }
