Subject: cuckoo ID paper
Many may have seen this already, but for those who haven't and who
are not aware of the online journal for birders "Ornithological
Observations", this paper will be of interest regarding the
challenge of identifying Common and African Cuckoos - something
which is perhaps not as easy as some would have thought it.
Cuckoo about
cuckoos: identification of Common and African cuckoos re-examined,
Faansie Peacock, 2014, Ornithological Observations 5:411-430
Ornithological
Observations is a great outlet for all and anyone's
birding observations. It is not as 'scientific' as the mainline
journals such as Scopus, Ostrich, Ibis etc, but more scientific than
a birding magazine and an excellent place for all and anyone with an
interesting observation of birds to publish it and get it out in the
public sphere where it can be referenced and used for other
publications.
